Wide-eyed Wanderings on our Last Day in Paris

          On our final day in Paris, we first visited the Museum located in the monastery at Cluny which has a fabulous medieval collection which has the nice addition of being located in a medieval space. We all had to do presentations on a piece of our choice, and I LOVED the altarpiece that Alex, Whitney and I presented. I thought our presentation was pretty excellent and Meg seemed to agree! There was also a giant narwal horn....

       After the museum we had a delicious lunch of endless steak-frites in the Latin Quarter at a restaurant Stevens assured us was one of the most post in Paris. It was lots of fun and SO good.

   I really wanted to go to Saint Denis and thought that if I hinted to Stevens enough he would volunteer to go with me (it's apparently in a fairly dangerous area of the city and he has offered for the past SIX YEARS to take students) but he did not catch my drift apparently and forbade me to go alone. I was very disappointed so I'll just move on from that, the wound is still too fresh...
    BUT Whitey, Alex and I went to the Arc de Triomphe, walking along the Seine and then the Champs Elysees. The weather was beautiful and warm as it was everyday we were in Paris. In the evening a group of us went to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night (Andrea was supposed to join us but she got sick :( ). They make it sparkle once every hour, so we had a great time watch the monument twinkle through the light drizzle while eating delicious crepes!
