Arriving to the Paris - Gare du Lyon train station after the 8-hour overnight train ride (I broke out my sleeping bag as a cover), I fully sensed the magnitude and anticipation of my last day on this 8-month abroad tour. More than one year ago, I had graduated from Brown University, and in less than one month, I would be starting at Boston University School of Medicine. What a spectacular year it had been in between!
What would I do on this last day, luggage in hand? Well, for starters...

... everybody gets home, we ALL go for a nap. And around 6pm, we head out again to experience a local favorite. Fast food, French style. L'Entrecote. This place has one thing on the menu. Seriously. ONE THING. You sit down, and they come up straight away asking what cooking preference you prefer: rare, medium, or well. And then, a small green salad. Then the main course: steak frites with a homemade sauce that, with a healthy scoop of spicy mustard, becomes AMAZING and ...
Paris, France styrskyWell we all had an excellent night sleep. We over slept ...seems to be a growing trend here for us, Bob has not used an alarm clock for a very long time he has been able to do as my Dad does and just "wake up " at the correct time. well the alarm was set on his watch, but we still all slept in. For this reason I have decided it would be best for me to stay awake tongiht in order for us to make our flight early tomorrow morning! Oh well off to PARIS,,,We were blessed with a ...
Paris, France koltzoo... who know Nick in meticulous mode this meant hours of continuous talking sometimes about very little at all!!! Perhaps we can share some of his "pearls of wisdom". "Next we go to statue number 3 - it is a big one!!!!" From the Rodin we walked to the Musee d'Orsy. What a magnificent location for works of art from Cezanne, Monet, Manet, Degas, Latrec and many other great artists of the 17th ...
Paris, France dempsey-eadie... photo... J'écris depuis mon téléphone et grâce a la connexion wifi du centre pompidou! Désolé pour les fautes et le peu d'infos... J'economise les batterie.

Paris, Île-de-France, France bitenagooly... qu'elle se dirige selon la pente du terrain. Pour aller au magasin, tu montes ....et pour revenir tu descends. Je suis rendu au point où je lui fais confiance. Je commence à avoir un complexe. On est parti à l'aventure. Tu te promènes, tu montes, tu regardes partout. Les bâtiments, les gens, les boutiques, les peintures. Il n'y a pas trop de quêteux qui t'achale sur la rue. Un peu, dans le bout du Sacré-Coeur, mais c'est tout. J'ai vu un gars...ou une fille couchée sur le ...
Paris, France carpeau... English version so that is kind of cool. I will have to look and compare it to the US version when I get back. From there I took the metro back to the Tuileries Gardens. There is a monument there that I wanted to get a picture of. I took the picture and walked around that area for a little bit. I then took the metro to Saint Sulpice chapel where, if you have read or watched the DaVinci Code, that is the church where the gold rose line ...
Paris, France becca_boo... there are also a couple dozen rollerblading police amongst the riders. The circuit always begins around 11pm, each week taking a different 3-hour route which is announced on Thursdays. All of tonight's thousands were experienced rollerbladers. Beginners have a shorter and less taxing route on Sundays. Starting in 1993 with a loose-knit group of skaters who would take to the streets, in 1997, the group had ...
Paris, France travelingmom... proprietors of restaurants and cafes are living up to their reputation of being slightly gruff and rude. Not to mention the fact that the streets are awfully dirty, the cars and native pedestrians almost maniacal, and people constantly bump into you and push past you without a word of apology. But my French is getting us by OK, and it's certainly nice to be able to just pick up the telephone and call a hotel to make some reservations, instead of ...
Paris, France janeyinjapanWell, I am back in Paris. I had a nice warm and sunny Christmas break at home. And now, it's time to get back to work. I have exams next week which consists of being given a random topic, ok, maybe not completely random...narrowed down to the sometime in the XIX century, and have 2 hours to write as much as I can, in french, without a french-english dictionary. Worried? YES extremely worried. Just want ...
