Life in Paris is still amazing, as I am still discovering new areas and places to visit, this city is neverending! Yesterday, Kristin and I ventured over to Cimetière du Père Lachaise, a huge and amazingly cool cemetary somewhat on the outskirts of paris. We had intended to meet up with a group of people, but the cemetary proved to be so big that we never ended up crossing paths! In any case, we spent hours just walking around the cemetary, the weather was perfect, and used a little map in one of my handy guidebooks (thanks aunt sandy and uncle alex!) to find the most famous, or just interesting graves. We saw that of Oscar Wilden Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison (my personal favorite), Chopin, and several others. So yeah, a little morbid, but really cool. At night, we headed out to a sangria bar to celebrate my friend Olivia's 21st birthday. It was really fun, the only annoying part is most of us had to pull a Cinderella and leave around midnight in order to ensure we caught the last metro, argh...I need to figure out how the night bus works.
Today, I slept in and then headed over to the Sweet Briar building to figure some stuff out about my classes. I'm trying to make it work so that I dont have class on friday, so I will have more time to take trips and such, and now it looks like it's going to work out-yay! We'll see though, everythings still kind of up in the air. After that and a two-hour methodology class Kristin and I met up with our friend Olivia by the Louvre, and then headed over to an art/fashion/design museum nearby. It was really cool; it featured a big Valentino exhibit of all sorts of his dresses. Afterwords, we stopped by a patisserie for a snack before heading home, we were all pretty tired from all the walking and standing around the museum. Anyways, tomorrow I have the entire day free, so hopefully we will get some planning done for weekend trips and such...exciting!

Touring a cemetary leads to sangria consumption! Bien Sur!And Ryan, thanks for the confirmation re Obama and all efforts. Now we just need my Republican looking husband(my how looks deceive) to go campaign in his homestead haunts of Chadds Ford,Pa. Where are you going by the way? Brittany, I know this is your blog but really cool to have such geographic diversity!

I am going to London for the year. Unfortunately, I'll be far away from dear old Kenyon, but fortunately...I'll be in London.
Hopefully I'll be able to watch Biden slaughter Palin in the VP debates from the UK--I'm a Delawarean, so Biden's my hometown boy.
Just got caught up on your activities, you've been busy! Just got back from Torrero's thought about having some Sangria myself.....we toasted you....
