Past couple days.

I have seen a lot in the past couple days. I went to Chartres Cathedral with the group from the program. When we got to Chartres, which is about an hour and a half outside of Paris, we all went to lunch. It was a little restaurant and was decorated with tablecloths and fabric from Provence ( I could tell from the colors and the olives). The meal was four courses long. No one really expected that and we were all so full by the end.
After the lunch we all climbed the stairs of the town (very slowly) towards the Cathedral. One reason this Cathedral is well known is because it has two different towers. One is from the Romanesque period and the other is Gothic. It was so great to see something I had learned so much in my Art History class.

When we got back to Paris, I was so tired that I couldn't dream of going back out. Instead I read my twilight book. It was such a great story that I didn't stop until it was done. Now I am desperate for the next book. Sadly I don't know if I will be able to find it in English anywhere. I'm determined though and where there is a will there is a way.
Today was very busy. Hilary (my roommate here in Paris) and I walked A LOT. We went from the Notre Dame to the Pompidou to the Louvre to the Obelisque to the Arc de Triumph then back down the Champs Elysees and then to the Hotel Invalides and then finally back to where our hotel is. We had a lovely meal of crepes at the end. yum yum.
Well, there is an update. I am going to post actual photos soon. My phone ran out of batteries so I am going to have to get my photos from Hilary's computer before I can put some up of myself.
