Champs Elysee

Wow!
Today we went along with Tina (our economics professor) along the Champs Elysee and looked and the Change offices to look at the exhange rates and look at the monetary policy of the European Central Bank in action. More importantly we saw the cars of the future and went to the perfumery and checked out the shoe stores:)
Everything here is super expensive, but it's the Champs Elysee so I guess I can't complain. Right now is one of the two sales seasons. Because markets function differently here in Europe, France has only two times a year when you can get 50% off your books, boots, and c.d's.
Thankfully you can sit with your coffee at any cafe and just enjoy as long as you like and watch the street shows in the Latin Quarter *where all the cool kids hang out* so not everything is too expensive.
The group is actually planing to go to London, we fly Thursday. That should be cool. I can't believe all that's going on. So much happens everyday! It's kinda sureal to be honest.

Paris!

I wish I could detail all the exciting people and places I have come to know in the last few weeks...There is little that my humble lexicon say, other than I am overwhelming thrilled to be here!
In last few days alone, I have run to the Eiffel Tower, been to gallery opening and meet the artist, spent two full days at the Louvre marveling at mankinds most colorful and aweing contributions to art, and visited my first french discoteche. Now, if only there was a way to catalogue them all....
Lets start with the promise I have pictures..I have a tendency to be overly talkative and the pictures will be clearer than I could ever be. Hopefully I can go snare Alexia and she can tell me how to work this infernal digital thing- I am admittedly, what is known in laymans terms, a technotard.
Will write again soon- waited with baited breath and we shall see what happens!
