Becky and Amy go to Sacre-Coeur!

Today was a beautiful day! We had the day off because we had been away the whole weekend. Hooray for no classes! Becky and I head out on a date filled with happiness and fun times. We woke up at a somewhat reasonable hour, and after doing some homework, I met up with Becky, and we began our date. We took the metro to Lamarck-Concourt, and from there walked over to Sacre Coeur. This beautiful church up on a hill is one of the places I have always wanted to go to since I studied it in French class back in 8th grade. It was indeed breath-taking, and we got a beautiful view of Paris. The weather was also gorgeous, so we got some really great photos.

Then we headed back down to the metro stop Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre, and we began our shopping adventure down Rue de Rivoli. Successful purchases were made! Hooray. 

Then we began our laundry experience. Doing laundry here is a bit of a pain. Even though I can speak and understand French fine, I don't know why I have so much trouble when it comes to reading French directions (and navigating French websites). We hauled our giant trash bags of laundry to the laundromat, and we spent minutes just staring at the machines and the instructions board. Nothing made sense!! 

There was something about buying soap. But then we didn't know which slot the soap went in…and there was something else about pressing the central pay machine to get the machine started. It was a confusing time in my life. But this kind man who spoke English finally helped us out, and we were able to get our clothes washed. 

While laundry-ing, Becky and I took turns going to run errands - Carrefour, baguettes, etc. 

After laundry, we returned to the Citadines, and spent the evening doing homework and cooking dinner.

Tomorrow will be a visit to the Musée d'Orsay, and class in the afternoon!  

Bonne nuit mes amis!
