Alors, I have been in Paris a couple days now, and am discovering all sorts of cool areas and having a great time exploring the various arrondissements. I've even mastered the metro, and the art of appearing angry and standoffish so you dont get pickpocketed; one of our teachers told us that the easiest way to spot an american on the metro is to look for the people smiling. Yesterday my host mom took me on a walk around the neighborhood, showing me some restaurants and the inexpensive "monoprix", where she spent forever looking for a face product that apparently hasnt come out yet, hehe. In our wanderings, we apparently passed a famous french comedian, which Madame pointed out ; pretty cool. Afterwards, a friend called and we met up for coffee (hot chocolate for me), in the Marais (again), and then we walked around exploring and stumbled upon the hotel de ville, so cool. That night, I went over to Jenn and Alex's to meet up and drink a little wine and hang out; we started watching the movie "broken english", which was really good, although we only watched the beginning before the host sister asked us to watch it somewhere else, sigh. Today, I met up with some friends at Montmartre, one of my favorite places in Paris, and we saw the Sacre coeur, an amazing old church. After trying in vain to find some of the spots filmed in "Amelie", we headed over to the 7eme arrondissement to check out the eiffel tower, also really cool. Now theres a french movie on tv my host mom said i should watch, so off i go!
love,
brit

Montmartre is by far my favorite place in Paris. My school group and I got caught in a huge storm at Sacred Coeur when we traveled there.
