Summary 3/19

Bonsoir, tout le monde!
A good day in Paris! We went by the Pompidou Centre and city hall this morning, while having some breakfast and buying souvenirs. Then we took the métro to the Louvre where most made a short visit for the obligatory Mona Lisa selfie and much shopping was done (sorry, parents!). Then it was over to the Eiffel Tower, where we skipped the long lines for the lift and walked up to the lower levels, and  most then took the lift to the very top. We were also spoiled with delightful weather this afternoon, so it worked out great. Ms. Pari and Amanda opted to visit the Orsay Museum rather than the tower, and  i understand they got a full serving of Van Gogh works, among others, at the Orsay :-)
Tomorrow we'll be back in classes, though we hope to break them up a bit to help the day go by a bit faster than it seemed to on Tuesday. Our French hosts are very happy to have us here and especially in their classes, so we'll be engaging in some additional debates tomorrow and the music club is going to share some tunes with some of our students. Then it's off to Normandy on Friday for a long but hopefully meaningful excursion. Bus stop at 7 AM! (Catch some extra zzzz on the bus!)
