Yesterday was our first day at the European Business School and I think it's pretty cool. It started by making our way to school, which takes about 45 minutes or so by metro. (I'm actually pretty good at navigating my way on the metro, I was able to read the map and get a group of us to the Eiffel Tower) Once at school we met a lot of the professors and had a nice breakfast. The school is located in a really pretty part of town and everyone there seemed really nice. We are going out o dinner with some students from EBS tomorrow night. It should be pretty fun!
In one of our classes we talked about taking risks and how they can change your perspective on life. Going along with this, we all came up with a list of our top 10 things to do while in Paris. So here is mine:
My Top 10 Things to Do While In Paris
1. Visit Montmartre - It's supposed to be beautiful and full of street vendors and artists. It is home to what Parisians refer to as "the hill" which is the highest point in Paris. There is also a small vineyard located here (that’s right, inside of the city).
2. Get Lost - I've heard that getting lost is the best way to really experience the French culture. Doing something by pure chance can be the beginning to a great experience (sure it might be scary, but what's life without a little risk?)
3. Visit the Catacombes - the catacombes are located 65 feet below the streets and contains the world’s largest repository of human bones. They say it's not for the "faint of heart," but to me it sounds really cool!
4. Go Dancing - The Latin Quarter is full of clubs and bars that are supposed to be incredibly fun!
5. Visit Monte's House - Located outside of Paris, the cottage that Monet lived in and the inspirations for many of his paintings are here and it should be beautiful.
6. Go Shopping - Everywhere from Champs-Elysees (where the high-end stuff is, i.e. Channel) to small local markets. Paris has it all!
7. Spend an Afternoon in the Park - Most of the Parisians love doing this, it's supposed to be very relaxing. I would like to take a picnic and explore some gardens.
8. See the Sex in the City Movie - We found out that the movie premier in Paris on May 28th and will be playing at a nice cinema on Champs-Elysees. The girls of the group have decided to have a girl’s night out and see the movie!
9. Have a Romantic Date - We are all very busy, but it would be nice to go out one night with just Tyler and experience the romance that Paris has to offer.
10. Cruise the Seine - The Seine is the river through Paris and I would like to take a dinner cruise to see the sights.
Let me know if you guys can think of anything else that I can't forget to do while I'm here.
Bonne nuit! (Good Night)

Haha, I love that you're going to see Sex and the City while you're in freakin' Paris...oh the irony. And you have to take the cliche picture in front of the Eiffel Tower! Hope you're having fun!
Oh don't worry, I'm taking care of that cliche picture!
You should definitely go to the Catacombs. There are 6 million dead people's worth of bones down there - there are more dead people under the city than there are alive ones walking around on top of them. Especially near Notre Dame. They have to periodically restack all of the bones down there to keep cave ins from killing people. All of the parts of the catacombs that you can see are actually a very small percentage of the catacombs in their entirety. All the skulls are stacked toward the inside!
Tell me what it's like!
Hey lady,
paris is the most amazing city ever, dont forget to stop by Notre Dam!
