It's our last day of seminars before we all ship off this afternoon and tomorrow to our respective residencies. I think we are all anxious and excited, but grateful that we had these two weeks to get a feel of what it's like to live and work in a foreign country. Tomorrow, I am headed to Brussels for a night before flying to Prague. I think I will have Karen's company (who is then going to Cambodia)which will make drinking Belgian beer and eating waffles all the more enjoyable.
I will have all of those who think I am uncultured know that I did visit a museum yesterday (Musee d'Orsay... think Van Gogh, Renoir, Toulous-Lautrec.... It's in an old train station and houses some pretty famous paintings. It was well worth it.) I also managed to visit Quasimodo at Notre Dame and cruise down Champs-Elysees. So I have soaked in a few requisite tourist attractions. We also hung out with some French students from the school we are having the seminar in, and we did the Montmartre walk through our neighborhood where we saw the Moulin Rouge and the funky, almost hidden neighborhood where several artists lived for a few years. That might have been one of my favorite spots in Paris.
Well au revoir from Paris.
