Hello everyone! I am sorry I haven't been keeping you posted but I have been so busy! We had two days of orientation which to be honest got a bit old with lots of talks about paperwork and rules. Then we went to Normandy. We went to two memorial museums and Omaha beach. It was really amazing to be at the site of such an important historical event. After we returned from Normandy, my friends and I in the apartments have been out to different parts of the city. It has been very fun just deciding where to go and taking the metro to different places. Yesterday we went to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, which had amazing views of all of Paris. We also walked along the Champs Elysees and went to a beautiful chapel called Saint Chapelle. Today we went to Centre Pompidou, a very cool modern art museum. We walked around a bit after getting some gelato and bought very cool vintage posters for our bare walled apartments. Overall, I am having such an amazing time with really great people. I start a week long intensive language class tomorrow which I am a bit nervous for. It will be a little rough getting back into school mode after such an amazing week but I know we will take every opportunity we can to explore Paris. I still cannot believe I live here and am so grateful for this opportunity! I will post pictures soon!
Au revoir for now!
