After classes today, me and some friends from my group in our welcome program decided to go grab lunch and walk around Paris some. For lunch, we went to the Jewish quarter (which, by the way, was very traditional with the hats and beards and everything ha ha) and had falafels... SOOO delicious!! Then we saw a few tourist sights:
We saw the Tour Saint-Jacques, which used to be part of a church, but the church was demolished at the end of the 1700s, and it's where Nicolas Flamel is buried. We went to te Hotel de Ville, which is the office of the mayor, and we also saw the Centre Pompidou, which is basically a huge modern art museum/gallery. I think it looks a little out of place next to all the historical architecture, but that's just me.
Then we went to find a view of the river Seine. We all decided to hang around here and eat gelatos for a while. :)
And lastly, I wanted to introduce you to my friends!! There are 4 people, and each one has a different nationality: Belgian, American, and Swedish (2 of them are Belgian). See if you can guess which one is from where! (Hint: listen closely to their names)
