More Pictures!

...As promised, these are more of the pictures I took on Saturday. These are all from the Montparnasse Cemetery.

Just Another Post

Well, I wasn't able to post all the pictures I wanted to, so maybe I'll try later. Anyway, yesterday I went for yet another walk. This time I went to the Luxembourg Gardens. There's a place in the gardens for kids to play and such, which definitely brought back the feeling (no specific memories) of being a kid in France. It made me realize how much I love it here, but also how much I miss my family.

Then I made my way over to the Montparnasse Cemetery and saw Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir's grave. Aparrently, Serge Gainsbourg and Manray are buried there too, but I didn't see their graves. While I was in the cemetery, I started to hear shouting and chants, and realized that there was an anti-Israeli march today. So I walked a bit around Montparnasse and saw the protest briefly.

I went into the Galeries LaFeyette, but it wasn't nearly impressive as the one we went to with Isabelle, but it was warm inside. Then I made my way over to Forum des Halles to look for the FNAC (kinda like best buy) so that I could buy tickets to the Of Montreal concert this Saturday. Alright, so this place is an underground mall, so they indicate the levels as -1,-2, etc...but instead of having the ground floor be zero and the lowest floor be -3, it's completely opposite. Anyway, once I got that figured out I got my ticket and I'm so excited! I think a few other people from school might be going, but even if they don't I know it'll still be a good time.

I think Margaret requested this...

Pain au Chocolat

So I bought a pain au chocolat, and the man said that I have a very pretty accent. I thought that maybe he was just joking, but apparently french men like american accents! Swooooon!

Une Promenade

I took a walk today around my neighborhood and it's really growing on me. There are a bunch of cool sculptures and parks. It doesn't feel so much like a big city too, which I think I'm starting to like. I'll let pictures do the talking...

There are palms trees in Paris! They're just hiding inside

A skate park

Some crazy stadium covered in grass. AC/DC will be there this month.

For Dad...

La Bibliotheque Nationale and a really cool bridge

I have pictures of more of these sculptures. They're so awesome.

Another one for Dad

So good.
