On Friday we took the train to Paris - about a 40 minute ride from Compiegne (the town we are currently in). We did a lot that day: ate a picnic lunch along the Seine river, walked the wrong direction trying to get to the Eiffel Tower, saw houseboats and a building covered in plants and lots of tiny cars, walked past amazing bridges, climbed about 700 steps up the Eiffel Tower, were serenaded as we drank kir in the Latin Quarter, and paid an entire euro to use the toilet at the train station. Laura turned down a free demonstration of hakuna matata from a man wielding a piece of string, which could have been the highlight of the day; we'll never know.

I was so enthralled with the pictures, that I didn't even hear a student call my name, until another student tapped me on my shoulder. Your pics are very artistic too. Was the cathedral absolutely fabulous? Beautiful shot of the flying buttresses! I also think the artsy wall section in your apt. is cool. You all look French, even the pigeon! ;-)
