Tuilleries

After my 3 hour french exam (!!), Tuesday afternoon I met Laura at the Concorde station. Funny story- while waiting for her, in this huge city of 2 million people, I managed to run into another girl I know, Victoria! And later in the same trip, Morgan's friend Kitty! How crazy is that!! But anyway, neither Laura nor I had to work until 4:15, so we wandered around the Jardin des Tuilleries, the garden right by the Louvre. The last time I saw Tuileries, it was my first weekend here- snowy, gray, and barren. But yesterday it was all sunshine and blue skies!

(If you look closely in this picture, you can see the Arc de Triomphe all the way down the Champs-Élysées... look hard!)








Because it was such a nice day, we decided to just wander, and we ended up walking along the Seine until the path ended. Inevitably, any walk in Paris ends up in a cafe, so we stopped for some hot chocolate before heading out. What a nice afternoon! It finally felt like spring!
