Hi Everyone!
I'm actually feeling pretty sick right now, so I'm not going to write very much. I just thought that I would post some pics so that you could see what I did over the weekend.

This is a picture from a get-together we had on Thursday night. Leona, on the left, has an apartment, so we all gathered there to celebrate Daniel's 21 birthday. (L-R: Leona, Nola, Camille, Me).
On Saturday when I was out and about, I took pics of my neighborhood so that you could get a better feel for where I live. This first one is my view as I walk from the foyer to the metro stop. The bright neon cross sign is a pharmacy (all pharmacies in Paris have that sign). The second picture is of the light-rail tram that runs along blvd Massena, in front of my foyer.

This last picture I took at Camille's mother's apartment. Her mom is French and runs the study abroad program at Hamilton College. She has a group of students in Paris right now, and so the school lets them live in the apartment while they're here. It was a great evening. I got there early and together with Nola, Camille and Addie, went shopping for groceries to make dinner. We actually went to the Bon Marche, which was the first department store in the world. It's extremely beautiful, and also expensive. We did most of our shopping at a cheaper supermarket down the street.

Well, that's all for now. I'm going to go crawl back into bed. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Liza

Great pics, Liza! Fun to see your neighborhood.
They closed I-35 at Owatonna because there was a blizzard tonight... and it's sooo COLD.
Hope you're feeling better!
