Well for some reason my iPad is not letting me post pics here in the blog, so please don't forget to check the picture website from time to time. I will not be able to update it everyday, but we are at a hotel with Internet so I am taking advantage of it while I can.
I hope as the days go on I will be able to get some of the students to type some of these entries as well, so you're not just hearing things from me. :-)
So our day started off with a great "French" breakfast here in the hotel. I sat with some of our boys and I asked them what they thought of it. One replied... "Pretty good, but Miss Lisa, I this milk tastes strange... I think they got it straight from the goat or something." after recovering from laughter, I really had no good response to that. :-)
We went to the Louvre where we had a tour of the museum and got to see the Mona Lisa. I think we were all surprised how small is really is, especially in comparison to paintings surrounding it. It was pretty crowded, which made it hard to hear sometimes, but the kids did great!!!
After this we went to lunch in the Montmarte section of the city where we saw lots of artists, did some shopping, and saw a view of the city from the second highest viewpoint in Paris. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get a picture of the stairs we had to climb to get there, but ask your children about it. Oooo boy!!
We then hopped on the bus to go to Fragonard, a perfume company where they gave us a tour of how their perfumes are made and how it used to only be for the rich years ago. She also told us the essential oils it is made from are so strong that when u put the perfume on it will last for 2 days!!! I know I learned something today!
Ending the day at the Hard Rock Cafe was great and I think gave the students a comforting feeling of home. Tomorrow is our last day in Paris, so we are heading to the Eiffel Tower and they will get some more shopping time. (might want to start checking credit card balances...lol!) I think it might rain tomorrow, but it will not keep us from our plans in any way! :-)
