Today was a very long day of travel. Allison, Julie, Patty, Karen, and I left our flat around 10am to catch the tube to Liverpool. Then, we had to get on the Stanstead Express to Stanstead airport. The flight was with Easy Jet on a cute little plane, and it took only 40 minutes! I had more legroom on this flight than I did on the way to London, which was nice. I looked out the window for awhile and saw the British coast, and then we were above the clouds, an...

Check out the Paris photo album, it's finally been updated! A slower server combined with a bad connection equals severe delays in updating my photos. Sorry. They're almost all there now...I'm just waiting for Patty to send me her Eiffel Tower pics. However, the pictures really do not do the tower at night justice. You just have to be there. So, classes started the 17th for me. I've just finished my second week, and I'm really enjoying it! I have a cl...

Ah, our last day in Paris. I woke up early to pack and with mixed feelings about leaving Paris.

A few of the girls decided to skip out, but I was very excited to see the tunnels. After what seemed like a never ending spiral staircase, we emerged into a dark, dank tunnel with dirt floor...

This morning, Patty, Allison, and I had our breakfast in bed. We woke up a little later and then Basia took us to a food and flower market. Only locals go here for their fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats...it is not a place one would find tourists. We wandered around and were given free samples from a few of the vendors. Then, Basia took us to a nearby park and fed us French food we wouldn't normally eat. There were shrimp (still in shells with antennae an...

Sorry for the lack of updates! I tried to write more, but the website kicked me off and all of my original Friday entry was lost. Ok, so Friday in Paris we woke up early to get ready and enjoy more delicious breakfast. Then, Basia took us to an interesting view of the Eiffel Tower. We got off at the Trocodero stop and saw the tower in full view close by. It was across some sort of green space from us. After a few photos, we went to Musee d'Orsay. T...
