... I am still awaiting an email with the class picture, but I have pictures of a few of my favorite classmates. After class, I decided to walk around and visit with my favorite parts of the city. I got a crepe in the Latin quarter (nutella with hazelnuts and walnuts) and while happily munching away, I peoplewatched, walked around, and listened to a concert at a church. I went to dinner at this lovely restaurant where I was completely french and had wine and a ...

... my tour so we went to the meeting point together after adventuring our way to the exit. We all met up and then got taken down to an underground carpark and had to get changed into nicer clothes for dinner. Things I Did Not Bring With Me: - Nicer clothes - Shoes that are not trainers, or jandals for showers - much make up - much jewellery I regret nothing. I wore a nice singlet thing I picked up in Italy (mwahahaha for like 5 euro) and it now has the honour of being basically ...

... but I might wander over to the catacombs. Sunday I am planning on going to mass at Notre Dame or one of the other major churches in the area, then to a market, and at night to the Bastille Ball which is a huge open air concert in the Bastille area of Paris. Monday morning I'm hoping to be up bright and early for the military parade down the Champs-Elysees (and maybe catch a glance of Sarkozy and his Italian-model/sing/songwriter wife ...

... stop, waited for an hour for the bus to get back to us, we must have just missed it coming back... we made our way back to the train station found the RER A took it back to Paris, then got on the 6 then the 8 to Ecole Militaire. An interesting example of how nice people were to us and how God prepared the way for His hapless travelers: At the RER Charles De Gaule Etoile station, there was no one to buy our tickets out to St. Germain en Laye from. We ...

... was painless. The Eurostar ride was fast (2:15), smooth and on time (only 20 minutes in the Chunnel). I didn't have a passenger next to me until the train made a stop in south London to pick up a few riders. My seatmate turned out to be French but has been working in NYC for the past 1.5 years at a global financial services company. We chatted for a bit about my visit to London and other topics, and eventually Jeremy asked me if I was visiting anyone in Paris. When I said no ...

... now offering the ring as a gift from her to me. I watched her find this thing on the ground. "No, merci," I smiled and put the headphones of my ipod back on, hoping that she'd get the hint. "But you can turn it into jewelry. Earrings, a necklace maybe," she offered, chasing after me. "It's good luck." "What's good luck?" "The ring." "The ring that you found?" "Oui!" her eyes widened and she held it out for me to take. "But if it's good luck, why did the ...

... alcoholic drink and desert, yummi! We had planned to go to a pub after it to celebrate my Birthday but Hanna`s legs were not too well and we both were pretty tired after all the day of wandering and sightseeing so we went home. It was my last proper day in Paris as on the next one I was coming back home. I knew a long journey was awaiting me, but didn`t realize it would be THAT long.... I had a fabolous Birthday though, and it probably was one of the best ones I have ever had:).

Well, we made it to Paris. But it is definatly NOT the beautiful romantic city everyone makes it out to be. Our hotel is a little sketchy ... and it doesnt help that it is in the GHETTO. Oh well. I leave tomorrow and Im pretty excied about that. We only have 1 day ...
