PARIS WHEN IT DRIZZLES

This wet Thursday marked our final full day in Paris.

I headed out to the 6th arrondissement to meet with an SJSU International Business student who is studying abroad for the semester. Her name is Carly and she is living with extended family while attending school in Paris. She speaks French and has a job as an English tutor for a family who lives in the 17th arrondissement.

After we had lunch I ran over to Notre Dame. Although this trip was my second voyage to Paris, I had not been able to fit Notre Dame in the first time.

After about 2 minutes, I was done visiting and checked that off my list of things to see. I think when I am older, I will take the tour, but for now, seeing the outside was fine enough for me. Besides, there was no place to rest my feet as the rain took care of every possible chair, bench or ledge.

I have yet to set one foot in the Louvre, but I think that will have to be its own trip as I hear it is a maze of wonders not to be rushed through.
