second week!

Sorry I haven't updated in a few days! The past few days have been pretty uneventful. I've had a bit of a cough/sore throat so I'm trying to take it easy! Monday, Tuesday we had French class in the morning at 10 am. Tuesday the metro train we usually take was down! so Christy and I were about 30 minutes late to class! yikes! We had 3 hours of French, then were off for the afternoons. We pretty much did some shopping but I still havent bought anything!!! I'm seriously debating getting a Louis Vuitton bag though because they are about 200 dollars cheaper.. and then when I go back to the States I think i get a tax refund! Not sure how that works but it would be about another 100 dollars I think..!! Might wait for Nance to come because she'll probably want one too! Love you, Mom!

At nights we've been taking it easy, the boys came over one night and we had some wine.. but again trying to not go too hard because of my throat!


studs.


We also came across this wall that says "love" in every language... neat.




Today we had French again, 10-1 and then History of Paris Urban Form class at 2. We learned about the growth of Paris via the walls of the city, and then went to go see some of the remains that are still evident! Kind of boring to just look at walls.. but also kind of cool to learn about something and then go see it!


Philippe Auguste wall from the 12th century!


another part of the wall in a different location.. also a part of a tower!


Anyways. Kind of boring but we got to see some cool spots in the city! Tomorrow the Metro workings are on strike? So that means basically the whole city shuts down. No metro, busses or trains. So.. we don't have class!! Christy and I are going to walk to some boutique type stores in the "art district".. pretty excited!! heres some random shots from our walk...


pretty city :)


I have a thing for the iron balconies w/ flowers.. love.


xoxo,
