I think I found my new home...

I am totally and completely in love with Paris. First of all- the metro system is amazing and organized! Even if you get on the wrong train, you can still get where you were originally heading to with ease!
I saw Roman baths that were recently unearthed.
I also went to my first film here in Paris, a River Phoenix movie (for those who did not know- American cinema influenced French New Wave). We also walked through the Latin Quarter. Amazing! We will definitely be heading back there. We will be heading to Versailles this weekend! I am soooo excited! And it sounds like we may make a trip to Italy next weekend.
So in a few hours, I will be heading to the Louvre for a walking tour of it. I am really excited for it. Did you know it use to be one of many palaces? There are so many palaces here in Paris.
I am in love with the architecture here. The architecture back home is so bland, but here- it is so intricate and beautiful.
The food, oh the food! It is amazing! No matter what you can't go wrong... actually-lie. Camenbert is horrible! None of us can stand it. You know all the expensive cheese in America? It's the cheap cheese here, that everyone eats. It is so good. The croissants are so flaky and the coffee is amazing. Though their version of coffee is espresso, which is fine. The portions here are usually smaller, but still so filling. The pastiserries are amazing. I have never seen so many crazy and delicious looking desserts before in my life. And every meal comes with bread and salad.
When you go to the cinema here, do not expect popcorn or a concession stand- most theaters do not have them...
The French are not bad as people make them to be. Attempt to speak French and be courteious and you will be fine. Everytime you enter a building say "Bonjour" or "Bon soir." Everytime you leave a building say "Au Reviour." Some of my group don't get this, but I have learned it helps out a lot. Also, the French love exact change! Try to give them exact change or close to. It helps things move faster.
My French is getting better. I think the survival French will help my French get better and I cannot wait.
