Sightseeing!



May 19:  My first full day in Paris!  We all went out for a bus tour of the city to check out all the main sights of Paris.  Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Notre Dame, Bastille area, Luxembourg gardens, Opera House and many more.  I already knew that the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French, but I learned that there at 2 other smaller Statue of Liberties in Paris.  We passed one at the Luxembourg gardens.  At the end of the tour, we stopped at the Palais de Chaillot, the best spot to view the Eiffel Tower.  Our Student Advisor took a group picture of all 19 of us students.
Later that evening we were treated to a Fancy French restaurant located on the famous Champs Elysees near the Arc de Triomphe.  A French dinner consists first of an entrée then the main plat and third the dessert.  That was a whole lot of good food.
