- We didn't have any structured activities planned for this weekend which was nice, at least for me to relax a little and breath! Karen and I were even doing laundry today and I cleaned up our room a little! Some people visited the Catacombs this morning but I decided to sleep in instead!
- I spent most of today sitting by the Seine River, right next to the Louvre, people watching and playing cards with Jayna. Prior to that we wandered through Notre Dame, which is incredible! This cathedral is the epitome of Gothic architecture! I had the chance to see it a few years ago when I was in Paris on a band/choir trip, but it was still majestic a second time! Its hard to take something that large and incredible all in at once but we managed. And the best part about this visit was that it was free! Free is always good! (especially when 1 Euro equals about $1.30 American).
- I am very much addicted to the Coca Cola here! It always comes in a thick glass bottle and it is so much sweeter than the Coke we have in the US. I want to bring a bunch back with me! Though I've noticed that while I've been here I don't drink nearly as much milk, water, or sports drinks as I do back home. I had milk tonight with my bowl of cereal; its a tradition for my host family to eat breakfast foods for supper on Sunday nights! Its actually been a pretty quiet weekend around here though because my host mom and host brother have been gone!
- Well, tomorrow is another day of class and a visit to Les Invalides!
- (Oh, and all the photos I put up here are mine by the way, they aren't just taken from Google or something like that!)
