Last day in Paris....

Our last day in Paris was packed and very hot. Wake-up call for every one at 7:15, and everyone made it to breakfast today. We left at 8:30 and headed for Le Louvre. This time we took the Metro the entire day, much more stressful for the teachers. Luckily, Heath who can tower over everyone was a giant help counting the kids in and out the subway, holding the doors until everyone was safely in or out. Jinhyun was our navigator and made sure we took the right line, got off at the right station. To reassure you, none was left stranded on any platforms even during rush hour.
At the Louvre, it was actually fun to see our students recognize some of the art we had studied in class. We were lucky that the Mona Lisa was very accessible as sometimes the crowd is so large it is impossible to get a glance at it. You can see in the picture how good our situation was. Le Louvre is a gigantic place, but we somehow managed to stay close and have a good look at some of the art work.

Our second adventure was to get lunch at the Champs-Elysées, shopping and check out the Arc de Triomphe. The last event was Le Sacré Cœur and its quaint French artists neighborhood, and after a long and complicated Metro ride, we made it to Hard Rock café. At 9:00, we returned to the hotel and kids are packing their luggage, and hopefully getting a few hours of sleep - wake-up call is 2:45 a.m. You will be picking up very sleepy, tired kids tomorrow!

All in all, the trip has been wonderful, kids have taken care of each other were well.
