Bonjour from Claire and Allison! Today began with an early morning start at 7:45am to catch our train. Throughout the duration of the train ride, we spent time napping, journaling, sketching, and getting some work done. We also spent time signing books for our future classrooms, which felt like a special way to commemorate our trip. After arriving to Paris, we lugged our suitcases through a series of hectic and crowded metros to our hotel. Thankfully, after the experience, we had some much-needed down time. Some of us went to get food and explore while others relaxed at the hotel, and some us even got pooped on by a pesky pigeon (Claire).
The Poopetrator:
After regrouping, and a shower for one particular person, we continued our adventure to the Catacombs of Paris. We began by heading down a seemingly endless flight of stairs into the depths of arguably Paris’ most unnerving tourist attraction. The catacombs stretch over 170 miles under Paris and hold the remains of over 6 million people (that’s a lot of bones!). As we walked through the long tunnel that is open to the public, we gazed in awe upon carefully arranged human skulls and ligaments, sometimes in fun formations like hearts!
After walking through we emerged from the dark depths to engage in some more free time! Most of us spent time shopping and exploring until dinner time. We finished our day at Le Mimosa where many of us ordered chocolate mousse and tiramisu, a sweet way to end a sweet day!
