Today was a very restful day filled with a lot of bonding between all of us. We started out at our apartment on Cherche Midi with some flaky croissants from Poilâne...and you can't forget the tub of Nutella. It was delicious. After that, Linnie, Mack and I went out on a small excursion in our quartier; we went and set up our cell phones, did some shopping, and went to the Pharmacy. On our excursion we familiarized ourselves with the quartier we are staying in as well as converse with the locals. Sophie still wasn't feeling well when we went back to the apartment, so we went out to lunch in hopes that with a little more rest, she would join us for the late afternoon trip to the Musee d'Orsay. We walked around in search of a good place to eat when we found a small cafe near St. Germain; our meals there were also awesome and we had a very personable server who stayed and talked with us whenever he brought over the bread, meals, water, etc.
When it was over, we had two hours until we had to meet Madame deHorsey at the Musee d'Orsay and we were so close to it already, we walked over and sat along the Seine for a while. We observed everyone...tourists, locals, everyone! We also found some trees that were turned into works of art (some might say). Names and designs were carved into them.
As a last minute thought before we met Madame, we ventured over to buy dessert at Angélina's, the famous Parisian tea salon, and then ate it in the Tulleries Garden. Today was fun and filled with Parisian beauty.
I think everyone enjoyed the relaxing before the internships start...I know I did.
On a side note, we also started to document the trip with photos and video.
