Day 64 - Music, what is your favorite?

Sorry, but no pictures again. Today was pretty good. In French, we did the very first part of chapter 12. After lunch, I had music. We talked about German Art Song. It is really cool. Then we shared our favorite songs (mostly we just shared a song we like, but was not necessarily our favorite). I played Such Great Heights by the Postal Service. It is a cool song, you should check it out. Then study time for the French test! I had been studying so much I just wanted to get it over with. And finally we did. It went okay. Not as good as the last one, but fine nonetheless. After hanging out at the Institute (and getting some yummy pasta for dinner), I met up with Miro, a guy from the ward, and we went to a concert. Just us. Just kidding :) We met up with the most of the people in our group (including Dr Ricks) and went to this club-type place to listen to the concert. It was very interesting. It was hard to really call it music at some instances because they were just pounding on and hitting various items. But it was really cool and I liked it. One of the guys played a Marimba that had aluminum foil under the keys. It made a really awesome sound! And that was the end of my day. I headed home and packed - LONDON tomorrow! :)

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t...
