Hey everyone,
I made it back from Paris okay. It was very tiring especially since we had a party the night before we left for a Swiss and French girl who were done with their sememster and were going back home. It was about a three hour train ride there and we found our hotel just fine. We went to Notre Dame (it's like most of the cathedrals in France, nothing too special), Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart), which was a neat church high on a hill, the Arc de Triomph, Eiffel Tower (we took the stairs to the second level and then you had to take an elevator all the way to the top), Pere Lachaise which is a cemetery with a lot of famous people like Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison, La Defense which is the business district right outside of Paris. They had some tall and interesting looking buildings. It was kind of weird because we went on a Saturday and there were hardly any people around compared to NYC where there are always people everywhere. On Sunday, we went to the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo and then we waited for our train in a cafe at the train station and birds would fly around inside and would come by and take your food if you weren't paying attention. I don't think I got any diseases from it though. All in all it was a pretty good trip.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you when I get back. Talk to you later.
