It's a beautiful day...

Well, I originally should have left this morning, but that didn't happen, obviously. From what I've heard, the volcano is still spewing ash into the atmosphere. You wouldn't know to look at the sky though. It is beautiful outside! After getting some lunch, Courtney and I went to the Louvre. I just wanted to see two things: the Seated Scribe and the Code of Hammarabi. Seated Scribe




Code of Hammarabi. It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
Then we went to the Jardin des Tuileries and napped there on the grass. It was wonderful, especially in the beautiful, warm sunshine :)
When we woke up, there was a little girl (probably around 18 months) who decided she wanted to play with us. She was so adorable :) After getting some dinner, we went to the Arc du Triomphe. Garret and Kevin were there also so we went up together.


Stairs to the top. Phew...
Champs-Elysées



Eiffel Tower sparkling :)


And back down.
It was awesome! The city is so beautiful at night :)

Then I just came home and packed. Fun fun :)

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...
