Let's see...

...what did I do on my week off?

-Laundry
-Postcards
-Russian Orthodox Monk Choir at Notre Dame
-Valentine's Day Party w/ lots of wine and cheese
-Shakespeare & Co- I saw the famous old owner and his daugher!
-Pantheon and Latin Quarter
-Went to Steven Sawyer (my History of Paris teacher)'s class at ENS on the history of Chicago
-Bought a new Moleskine
-Went to Chateau de Vincennes w/ Z
With Jessica, who came up from Barcelona:
-Went to Notre Dame, walked down the Voie Triomphale and then back to the Louvre for free Friday night
-Walked around the Latin Quarter some more w/ Jes and Z, then to Rue Mouffetard, a great pedestrian walk way. We bought wine and cheese for dinner. Then on to the Musee d'Orsay, and then our cheese tasting.
-Today: Montmartre, then coffee in Beaubourg, and then Centre Georges Pompidou for some modern art. My favorite piece was Attempt to raise hell, 1974 by Dennis Oppenheim. This puppet of a man would, every two minutes, bang his head against a bell. But my favorite artist after all was Magritte. Then we went to try to find a French dinner by the Canal Saint-Martin, of Amelie fame.


So, a full week! Now it's back to classes...wish me luck!
