Funny French Movie and the Seine at night

After sleeping in a tad, Courtney and I headed into the city. We grabbed some food and then went to the institute. We, along with Garret, Chelsea, Bart, and Chester (Garret's host brother), watched Bienvenue chez les ch'tis. It is a french movie which deals with the stereotypes that Southern French people have about those who live in the North of France, and about dispelling said stereotypes. It was very funny, I really enjoyed it. We talked outside for a while and then headed back to the hotel. While there, I washed all the clothes I am taking with me on the next program. In the sink. Then I hung them up on my handy dandy clothesline to dry. I met up with Chelsea, Courtney, and Richard after that and we went on a walk. We walked along the Seine, which was quite indescribable. I took just a few pictures.





Those were all taken at Place de la Concorde.


Walking along the Seine. The picture didn't quite work out, but I like it anyway.
Many of the trees along the Seine are carved up with names. I really like it. When I see things like this in the forest, I don't like it, but this is the city. I think it works.



Double Ms.

After that, we just headed back. Am I going to sleep? Eventually.

It makes the trees look almost artistic. I think it does work in the city. The sky in the pictures I think enhance the beauty of the city structures.

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...
