What I've been up to..

-Fondue (yum..Michael you will be proud of me that I did try one piece of beef)

-School, this is my class building

-Ice skating in front of the Hôtel de Ville

-Wandering around, this is the Saint-Eustache church which I've never heard of but we stumbled upon it last night

-On Friday nights the Louvre is open until 10, so yes I conquered some more of it before heading out last night!  

In other news, my busy schedule caught up with me yesterday when my 1 hour sieste somehow turned into a 4 hour nap!  It was a real challenge to emerge from that foggy, sleepy feeling afterwards.  Also, I just said au revoir to my 21 year old host sister who is leaving for her second semester in Korea today.  Now I am preparing to meet some friends for a picnic in Montmartre-- definitely one of my favorite spots.  

Hopefully tomorrow I will be planning what remains of my spring break trip!  The first week Mom, Dad and Michael will be here and after a few days in Paris we will be going to Brussels, Bruges, and Amsterdam.  Then my tentative plans are to meet up with a friend in Seville, then hit Granada and Barcelona.  I'm hoping to plan a weekend in the south of France in early May and if that works out, then I'll be visiting all of those places as well as Strasbourg (last weekend), Madrid (next weekend), Prague (March 13-15), Geneva & Interlaken (May), and day trips to Fontainebleau, Rouen & Giverny.  Sounds like more 4 hour naps are inevitable!
