Bonjour to all! Hopefully you will all be able to navigate the blog pretty easily...for me it is all in French but maybe in the Etats-Unis it will appear as English!
I have been in Paris for a little over a week now, and I am absolutely loving it. The first week was Orientation for us at the Boston University center every day, but we usually didn't start until 10 or 11, so I've had a lot of time to explore the city every night! My mom was in Paris for the first few days of Orientation, it was so nice to have her here to help me settle in, and she got to meet Mme Boudet (the woman I am living with) as well as Esther, my fabulous "housemate" (another girl from the BU program who is living in the same house). We got explore a little bit together: Notre Dame and the Marais, as well as have 2 very good dinners together. On the first night we tried escargot...and liked them!
So far I have explored a lot of the 15th arondissment, where I am living, as well as a little bit of the Saint Germain area and the Bastille. My apartment is just a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower, so I have been there to have lunch a few times during the day, and to walk around a little at night. Last weekend BU sponsored a trip for us to Versailles, which was very fun; we took a tour of Marie Antoinette's house and gardens. Classes began on Monday, they are very long (2.5 hours each) and all in French, which is a huge learning experience in itself. That's all I have for now, more to come later!
