Day 47 - Night Appointment at the Louvre

I slept in a tiny bit this morning because we didn't have class this morning. Then several of us made our way to Villa Savoie by Le Corbussier in Poissy, which is just outside of Paris. It was really cool!It would be awesome to have a house like that, so open to nature. Except at night...














She loves it :)

They ran into my picture...
The picture I was taking :)

Love jumping pics :)

Mini-house


Back to the city. I used some internet at the hotel because it was free today. Apparently, something was broken? I don't know why it was free but why question blessings? Then a couple of us went to Viagio to grab some dinner. Love that place. Then to the Louvre for class!
We pretty much ran through everything ancient, but it was really good. Gotta love the Louvre; I can never get sick of it. We saw a couple things that I hadn't seen yet.






Greek sculpture of a Hermaphrodite (Hermes + Aphrodite)
All very interested.

Love her.


Then back to the hotel on RER C. We were sitting next to these adorable girls playing hand games :) So fun. Once back at the Etap, I used some more internet. Love the internet. And that's about it for today!

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...
