Il est cinq heures paris s'éveille

In class this week my teacher introduced us to this song. It is very catchy and I have been singing it all the time. Listen to it if you get a chance : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woTcLJvf7fw. Today the immersion program went to Paris for the day instead of having class. We first went on a mini bus tour around some of the city and afterwards we went on a boat tour along the Seine. It would have been very enjoyable, if I had not walked and seen all of the attractions multiple times before. The little group that I was with did befriend a German brother and sister. We conversed through gestures and drawing pictures. Turns out the boy is 4 years old and his sister is 10 years old. They also had another sister who is 7 years old and are from Munich. Isn't it crazy what you can find out without even knowing the other language. The eldest girl was teaching us to count to 10 in German and she had the hugest smile on her face as we were attempting to repeat her.


It was also gorgeous in Paris today - sunny skies and not too cold! We ate lunch in the park by the Eiffel Tower and then headed over to the Champs Elysées for some window shopping and to see the Arc de Triomphe. With so many people flooding the streets of Paris, I have decided to take a break and visit the countryside for my next visit. Not sure where I am going to go yet. Any suggestions?
