Almost there!

I got everything all packed up today. Then Courtney and Richard came over to help me take all the suitcases (my large suitcase and duffel bag, hanna's suitcase and large/heavy purse). The help was very much appreciated. Without it, I probably would have taken about three trips. On the way there, I heaved my huge suitcase onto the metro train. Instead of it landing on the floor, it landed squarely on my left foot :( It hurt so bad. Still does :r And I've got a nice bruise from it. Anyway, we made it to the institute fine and stored the bags in a locked room within a locked room underneath the church. So I'm thinking they'll be pretty darn safe.

En tout cas, while there, I printed off my e-ticket and a few other papers. Then we left and walked around for a bit. We went into a really cute souvenir shop and then just wandered. Hard to get bored in Paris. For dinner, Courtney and I went to Breakfast in America and got pancakes. So delicious. I miss syrup-drenched pancakes. Yum. Then back to the hotel to finish packing to go to Greece tomorrow!!

Ouch, how is your foot doing now?
That was nice of them to help you out. How come you have some of Hanna's things?

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

Image
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...
