More Sconnies!

Jack came to Paris on Friday, on his way home from bumming around Benelux for a week. We hit some cafés, ate crêpes and walked around the Marais. This is kind of considered the coolest neighborhood in Paris and its the old Jewish quarter. Its also where Jack's friend Mathieu lives and where I was able to legally buy my first bottle of 4 euro wine (its a more civilized nation). At right there is a picture from the Marais.

Today I met up with my long lost amiga Whit at the Louvre and did touristy things until I couldn't take it anymore. We went to the bookstore Shakespeare and Company, which is famous for selling English books and being a place where expats like Hemingway went, and some ricain (Américain) was predictably looking for A Moveable Feast. However, we did come across the Place des Vosges. Its the oldest square in Paris, built by Henry IV and only about 20 minutes from my school. I can't wait to take a book there for a few hours :)

Now I'm going to go to bed very early for a Saturday night- last night was a late one and I still haven't quite conquered the jet lag.
