Day 43 - Sweltering Paris

Today was SO HOT! I need to get a skirt or shorts or something because I was dying in jeans today. Today we started our lecture at Notre Dame. We talked outside. It was pretty miserable because it was so hot and humid! What didn't make sense is that we would stand in the sun when shade was ten feet away. Oh well, we were at Notre Dame :)
Park behind the cathedral.

Then to the Cluny museum.

The museum was cool, though more frustrating than the last time I went because my receiver stopped working so I had to run to hear what she was saying. But that's okay, it was pretty cool anyway. Then off to Sainte-Chapelle.
So I think I am not meant to love Sainte-Chapelle. Because not only was the front section still covered up for restoration, we had a very stressful assignment. Two actually. It wasn't doable but we all did the best we could.


Because we'd worked hard on our assignment, we went to my favorite cheesecake place: Berko. It is so amazing. I wish it was in Utah. After using the bathroom in the visitors center, we went to the park behind Notre Dame and ate our heavenly cheesecake :) It was quite nice.

Then we headed back to the hotel area. We went to the grocery store to get food. Before that, we went to H&M right by the grocery store in the mall to get some skirts so I can survive this heat! Then we went to the hotel. Today was very exhausting but it has been another great day in Paris!

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...
