We had the day off from school on Monday so Lindy, Emma, and I visited Les Invalides. We saw Napoleans tomb and a WWI and WWII museum. It was very interesting and a nice way to spend the afternoon. Then that evening a group of us were craving some American food, so we took a much needed trip to the Hard Rock Cafe. I would have to say that I absolutely loved it!!! My family visits Hard Rock Cafes all over the US, so it was nice to visit the one in Paris. We had to wait for an hour for a table, but in the end our food was fantastic! It was a nice touch of home.On Tuesday it was back to school where we started our Marketing class. Our professor is really cool and is very knowledgeable. The enitre day was devoted to Marketing and we worked on three case studies. It was nice to work on something besides our group project! Tuesday evening we hung out around home because we had to get up really early on Wednesday.
On Wednesday the class took a trip to the town of Reims (Champagne country) and visited Veuve Clicquot. We had to leave pretty early in the morning in order to be at the train station in time for our 8:50 train, but it was worth it! Veuve Clicquot is a very fancy champagne company that has been in business since the 1800's. We recieved a tour of the cellers and then got to taste some of their champagne. (I enjoy this more than wine) It was a lot of fun and very interesting to learn about how the champagne is made. After the visit to Veuve Clicquot, we wondered around the town of Reims and learned about two of the famous churches there. It was amazing and I really enjoyed the smaller town feeling!

Thursday and Friday were spent back at school working on more marketing stuff. We did a few more case studies and learned about the different types of payment methods and point-of-sale risk transfers.Today we are planning on visiting the Catacombes, so I will be sure to update about that as soon as we get back. Overall, things in Paris are going great and it's weird to think that we only have a week left here.
