Today might have been my favorite day in Paris so far. It started out with school where we proposed our ideas for our group projects. For our project we have to pick a US product or service and export it to Europe. It's really hard to think of ideas of things to bring to Europe because they have almost everything here and Europeans seem very happy with what they have. After a lot of thought, my group decided that we should export Inta Juice to Spain and Germany. Some of the other groups came up with really good ideas too (such as Chipotle and mobile dog grooming services).
After Management class we had a very long lunch break that was spent deciding how to create our school blog. Both UNC and UNF have to create a blog about the group’s experience. It seems like ours is going to be really great. We have really smart people on this trip from UNC that are all good at different things; this should make the blog really diverse.
We ended school with a French lesson. I feel like I am getting better at understanding and speaking French. It is a very hard language to learn so I enjoy all the practice I can get. Today we learned the French alphabet and more restaurant lingo.
After school we had a simple dinner from the Monoprix (a local grocery store) that was pretty good. We decided to spend the rest of the evening strolling around in the area of town near Notre Dame. It's a really beautiful part of town! We went in a few shops and then we went to Shakespeare and Company Bookstore. (It's a pretty famous book store) It was really nice to look at the books and the entire upstairs was full of very old books. After strolling the shelves for a while we took a break at a next door cafe and had drinks and a fantastic dessert. The cafe was so perfect; it had a great view of Notre Dame and live music. It is exactly how I imagined I would be spending my time in France.
Now I'm off to bed to get some much needed sleep. I really am starting to miss everyone from back home but I'm having a great time here in Paris!
Good night!
