Bonjour à tous!
My plane landed at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport at 8am Paris time (1am Minnesota time). I was a little queasy today, which was truly unfortunate, but I made it through and was able to keep down a ham and cheese sandwich at the boulangerie across the street from our hotel this afternoon.
Our hotel is located in the center of the Latin Quarter, a young and vibrant neighborhood full of shops and restaurants. I'm sharing a room with three other girls, including mon amie Carmen. Out of our window we have a lovely view of the Rue des écoles.
I spent the day napping, exploring the Latin Quarter, and eating (and drinking) at an Italian restaurant a few blocks from the hotel. All the Parisians have been super friendly so far, and I already feel my French has improved. Tomorrow we begin our étude of medieval Paris and visit the Musée du Cluny (only 3 blocks away) and hopefully the cathédrale de Notre Dame.
Internet access is mediocre at best, but I'll try to update as much as I can. I am exhausted and must go to bed now!
Love from Paris,
Erin
