First Crepe, Rue de Rivoli and other adventures




















HEYYYYY HEYYY HEYYYY!
So I missed another day! So bummed! But it really wasn’t much of a day. I woke up Saturday feeling sick. Not really sick, but my throat hurts, no beuno. And I’ve been coughing, which sucks. So I woke up a little later and wanted to get a lot done but really only ended up going to Pere Lachaise. Which was soo cool! I really only went to see Michel Ney’s grave. (Of course I would go see one of Napoleon’s Marshals of France and not Jim Morrison).

“Known as “The Bravest of the Brave”, and arguably Napoleon’s greatest marshal, Ney displayed great courage in action, above all during the retreat from Moscow, when he was reputed to have been the last Frenchman to leave Russian soil.”

But yeah, the whole thing was really interesting and I’ve always loved the idea of having a family burial chamber. I think its classical and yeah. So anyways I walked around for a couple hours – but it was very very cold outside and I knew it wasn’t helping me feel any better to be walking around in the cold. So I made my way back to FIAP. I spent most of the rest of the day just resting and trying to feel better. I guess it helped a little, but not much.

Other than that Bret came back around midnight and it sounded like he had a really good time in Copenhagen! Not much really happened on Saturday, I felt a little better when I went to sleep hoping I would get a bunch of sleep. I’ve been also feeling really fed up with the internet here at the FIAP, it basically sucks. Its slow and makes talking with anyone difficult! Only like 6 more days of it! No worries!

So Sunday was nice. I woke up feeling a bit better, less “sick” and more just a scratchy throat. Which is annoying but a lot better than also feeling sick. So I went out today on a long walk from FIAP to the louvre and Rue de Rivoli to buy gifts for everyone back home! Then I walked through tuileries and over the Seine a couple times. It was perfectly sunny out and it got much warmer! It really was the first nice day in a while. I also felt good because I was able to take some pictures and have something to show you all! Ummm so then I came back to FIAP and relaxed and felt warm again and took a brief nap. Went to dinner with everyone and came back to the room. Nothing has really happened since.
If I think of something later I’ll add it to this post, but I really just want to get this up with all the images and get to bed soon. Its just been a good day! And tomorrow should be laid back with a fantastic dinner at the Meurice “Le Dali” which I CANT WAIT FOR!

Oh I did remember something – I had my first crepe since Ive been here today! At the ferris wheel at Place Concorde. It was sub par, not bad, but not what a paris crepe should be!

Oh and yes lots of pictures today! I know Ive been lazy and preoccupied for the past few days, so here you go!!
