Aujourd'hui à Paris

We met for class today at St Paul church in the Marais, and walked through it - learned a little bit about the architecture of different times and different Louis' (Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI)... After that, we were free to go on our way for the day. Audrey and I ventured off to find a falafel place we had been wanting to try called "L'as du Fallafel", where we both got truly massive veggie falafel for 5€50, walked around the corner to "Thanksgiving" to pick up two cans of Dr. Pepper, and ate our lunch down by the Seine near Pont Sully!

 


We wandered over to the métro Jussieu, and on the way came upon a little vintage bookstore selling books from the 1800's for 5€


From Jussieu we went all the way to western Paris to see l'Arc de Triomphe and Champs Élysées. No matter where you are in the world, Disney has the same effect. We were instantly children again.


We then walked allllll the way down the Champs Élysées to the Louvre.



Finally, we went back to Delph's, where we ate chicken nuggets and popcorn for dinner (and I finished off the clementine juice I bought yesterday as a substitute for orange juice - they don't really sell it without pulp! Blegh! Clementine juice is cheaper anyways.) 

I downloaded a pedometer app for my phone, and I've been keeping track of how much we walk each day. We broke our record with a whopping 19,800~ steps today. Needless to say, we are tired. Luckily we have the day off tomorrow!
