First Post in Paris!

It's Tuesday late afternoon, so I'm finally getting settled in Paris. On Sunday, we didn't do too much. After about 2 hours of sleep on the flight, the trek from the airport to the hotel, and the orientation with cheese and crepes, I was very tired, but managed to go sit at a cafe and split a bottle of Petit Chablis with Courtney and Sophie. oddly enough, it doesn't get dark here until like 1030, so wouldn't have been able to go to sleep early anyways.

So on Monday, I woke up bright an early for breakfast, which consisted of coffee, a delicious croissant, and orange juice, which is a typical breakfast here in france. We had class, then had a group lunch, which I will get to in a minute. Later on, we went down to the Champs Elysees, a main shopping strip in Paris. After the interesting experience in 5 story Abercrombie, with the shirtless guys and dancing employees, we walked down the strip and then had dinner at a cafe. I had the Nicoise salad, which was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. We finished the night with a couple glasses of wine at a nearby bar, then called it a night.
