TechnoParade: Paris

"The annual Techno Parade turns up the volume and quickens the pace on Paris' streets. Around 20 floats carrying 150 musicians, DJs and performers from all over France turn out to dance their way along the three-mile route."

Sport

Monday was la rentree, or first day of school. The class that I'm really excited about is sport. Today the teacher played a cassette tape that beeped, while the class tried to run to the other side of the gym before the next beep. For two hours.
I made it to level 7!

Other things to look forward to in sport:
The Scavenger Hunt
Apparently we will do one this a lot. Each student receives a map with x's on it. We go outside and run around to find the x's, where something is hidden. If you find whatever it is, you bring it to the teacher. Then you do it again. For two hours.
The Pyramid
In groups of 3 to 7, students work to form a pyramid. For two hours.


Currently listening to: Beeps

The Moulin Rouge

The Mairie (Mayor's Office)

Notre Dame

The Eiffel Tower...

...and the view.

An apartment building?

Sacre Coeur

After I took a picture, Lucie took one with her Poloroid, then a random guy took one too.

Ma Chambre

What I see out of my window.

My petit fireplace (and unmade bed).

Bienvenue

Welcome to France!

The plane ride was fine, but I was kind of hoping that I would sit next to someone wearing a body cocoon.

I just met my host family today because they were in southern France until Sunday.

Look out!

The packing monster is coming for me.
11 days until the plane leaves for Paris, and I have actually started packing!
Here are some of the things in my suitcase right now...

• 7 pairs of jeans
• 1 orange go-go dress
• 1 old yellow dress
• 2 plastic hippo figurines
• 1 plastic giraffe figurine
• 4 tubes of chapstick
  
• 1 digital camera
