The Frog and the Princess...

Tuesday January 20th, 2009

Today was our second day of classes. We got up at 7 again, and went downstairs for breakfast. For breakfast i had.. well ... the same exact thing! But i brought my croissant back upstairs for later. After we ate, Stephanie and I both took naps until about 10:30 because we didnt have class until 1:30. I didn't want to be lazy all day so I got up and took a shower. I went to class at 1:30. Another day of philosophy... After class we rushed upstairs to watch the Inauguration of President Obama. it was cool to watch it live online from France!

After that, we went out to the grocery store like 2 buildings down... Shopi.. No one speaks English. It's fun trying to cash out at places if they don't speak English. After we got a few things, we came back to the room.

We went to dinner at 7:15, like clockwork, and went back upstarirs to get ready. We decided to go out with some other people because we didn't have class until 1:30 the next day. We weren't planning to stay out late anyway.. we just didn't want to stay in our rooms another night.

So we headed out. We walked about 15-20 minutes trying to find this place Kim's friend had told her about. It was called The Frog and the Princess. It was a bar that also served food. After walking for a little bit, we still couldnt find it. So we asked a group of girls who were heading in our direction. They knew what we were talking about and tried so hard to figure out where it was and explain it to us. They looked at a map by the metro we were standing near, and decided it was too complicated for them to try and explain it to us. They were really nice and seemed like they knew where they were going- so they actaully showed us the way and walked there with us- well at least to the small street it was on.

It was an okay place... I wasn't too impressed. We actually met some other people- a group from NYU studying in their Paris campus as well. It was kind of cool...We went back early- prob about 10:30. Once we got back we relaxed and I started reading my book--procrastinating again on making this blog! I dont think we will ever go back there again--- we didn't really like the place. but it was an experience!
