First Week: Success!

Classes officially start tomorrow, so it is the end of complete free time :( But this has been an absolutely awesome first week in Paris! Lots of sightseeing and really getting to know the way around Paris. The weather has really been in our favor, and perfect for going out during the day and at night.

Two days ago, we went over to the Notre Dame to just hang out, get some pictures, and eat some dinner. We didn't get to go in because it was the evening and closing, so saving that for another time!

Claudia, Irina and I in front of the Notre Dame! 

Yesterday, we went to the Luxembourg Gardens to walk around and hang out (we do that a lot, just hang out at different places. Its the thing to do in Paris, very Parisian!) 

Les Jardins!

Finally, at the gardens yesterday after one week of being in Paris, I had my first crepe. It is a delicious French food, much like a flat pancake that you can enjoy either sweet (which is what I did yesterday) or with different meats and cheeses. 

My first Paris Crepe! 

Today, we went over to Sacre Coeur, which is a huge church on top of a hill. The top is the second tallest lookout point in Paris, and after climbing 300 stairs (on a spiral staircase, ouch!) we saw breathtaking views of the city.

After wandering around in the area a little bit, we ventured over to the Centre Pompidou only to find out its closed on Tuesdays, and apparently so is every other museum in France. New trip for another day! 

My legs and feet are going to be killing in class tomorrow from all this walking/stair climbing, but it has all been so worth it! 

Au revoir pour maitenant,

Feldy
