April 30

We are now settled into our apartment living. Our location is good, a couple blocks from Bastille and only 1/2 hours walk from the site where Notre Dame is. We have split up into smaller groups for exploring what we can in our free time, but mainly we have been wondering around trying to stay awake until night. My main group is Jade Johnston and Jessica Foster. The girls are pretty organized when it comes to planning anything and good at navigating whenever I have us lost, so we all work together well. Even though we had been in Paris now for a day and a 1/2 the girls could not actually believe it until we saw the Eiffel Tower. Tonight we are going to take the subway across town, get out at the Tower, and walk the river back to the site. Should be adventurous.
