Paris Thoughts--Amanda

I have absolutely no idea what to talk about, so I will start with my tour of Paris. Yesterday I managed to walk all of the way from our Oberkompf stop to the Eiffel Tower (think opposite ends of the inner arrondisements). That was pretty fun. I stuck to the Seine at the beginning and walked the lengths of the Iles St Louis and de la Cite. It is very peaceful there until you get to the Notre Dame; everyone goes there. Along the way I managed to see the Gare d'Orsay and the Louvre walking by. Typical tour.
Michelle and I also managed to make it to a Monet museum in the16th. I had to stop and ask for directions, but they were difficult to follow. The museum was worth it though. It is very different seeing the actual works than seeing them in class on a projector. Everyone, I got gifts there for the most part, so feel loved. Then we walked to Pont Mirabeau, a subject of one of our assignments. Getting pictures was pretty amusing, especially when we had to stand in the middle of a side street. There are some nice drivers here amidst all the crazies.
It has also been very nice to experience some of the things that people our age would do in France. It has been great to have friends close to our age, teaching them things and learning from them. I already miss my friends in Troyes and I hope that I will be able to see them again one day. Perhaps when I study abroad.
Anyways, have to go enjoy the last day.
