Another day in Paris

July 9:

Today we went into Paris after class was over since it is our last week in France. The weather wasnt all that nice today which was kind of a bummer. It actually hailed today, which I found interesting because it is July. It was pretty interesting to watch the students from asia who havent seen hail as well as a few of the Hawaii students. Its cool though that they got to experience it in France of all places. We wandered around and tried to find a few different places but ended up being in the wrong place. We found an artsy district called La Defense where there was a huge statue of a thumb and several other odd peices. It turns out that we had to ask someone who pointed us in the right direction and of course what we wanted to see, the peace wall, was under construction because of Bastille day, frances national holiday this saturday. At least we found it that was a success. After finding the peace wall we headed towards Montmartre to meet up with some of our friends for some fun at this little place called O'Sullivans. It was nice to just sit around and talk with everyone. We called it an early night and headed back home around 11pm.
