Paris

Paris was all that I had expected, and just as beautiful as everyone says. It's a magical place.
We were 50 or so on the trip, with Rotarians from Namur as chaperones. We toured a lot by bus, and spent a good amount of time visiting all of the aforementioned places. The disappointing exception is that of the Versailles Palace. This just means I will have to visit it another time. Most of my time was spent in the company of Americans and Canadians, and I made many exchange friends on the trip.
The weather was pleasant, warmer than I have been used to since October in Belgium. We are having a spell of warmer and drier weather in Northwestern Europe, and I am liking it.
Today is my day of rest and to-dos. I have a long list of things to do, and I am getting lots done. This afternoon I shall prepare for the remainder of my Fall holiday which will be spent in Holland. Tomorrow morning I leave by train to Utrecht where I'll stay with the Dutch family. And then Sunday I will make a stop in Dordrecht before coming back for school Monday.
