Sunday

A new hotel meant a new breakfast experience for our travelers. Dining on croissants, bread, cheese, and mixed fruit juice with an enormous group of Asian travlers was how we spent our early morning.

Following our filling breakfast we headed straight to the Lourve, which was spectacular. It was so massive that the two hours we had to explore felt like one of the most rushed periods of time on the whole trip. I believe that every student had an opportunity to see the Mona Lisa, and from there the experiences were quite different depending on peoples' choices. I walked with Ally and Alex, as seen on our instagram, and we saw the Greek Sculptures and the section on Egypt. The collections were vast and the presentation was engaging and enjoyable.

Following the Lourve we saw Notre Dam Cathedral. It was a bit strange as we visited it during Sunday mass, but the sheer size of the inside of the cathedral was breathtaking.

Next we ate lunch in smaller groups before having a couple of hours to shop. Dinner followed shopping, which was followed by a trip to a Bascilica on a hill overlooking the city. We headed back to the hotel a little earlier tonight, and in case my writing does not make it clear, we all needed a little down time.

Tomorrow we come home to see YOU.

Merci
