Princess Street

Centre Pompidou: C'est assez importante...
Sacre-Coeur on its hill. So impressive.
Got that phone numba yeeeee.  So now, I'm mobile and ready to make french friends... or just have a blast going around Paris with a bunch of Americans.  Which is exactly what I ended up doing! After a solo visit to the Sacre-Coeur (very impressive, but also so many other tourists!), I met up with some Pomona-ites and some new friends from Middlebury, Bowdoin, and CMC.  After some serious Louvre entryway chillin (how does one properly pose with two pyramids? we couldn't figure it out...) and a free Jazz-Improv concert for the ages (one of the strangest things I've ever seen: picture an old video game soundtrack slowed down and remixed with nails and a broken fan), we grabbed dinner and set off on the town, ending up chilling on Rue de Princesse, getting late night crepes, and meeting some cool french bros.
failed to catch an awkward pose; there were many
A success of a night, and I made it back in time for the metro and didn't have to walk home in a city I just arrived in. Lazy Sunday and then it's Orientation time tomorrow. Kinda forgot I also have to attend school, I could get used to this wandering around Paris and people watching all day thing I got going.
Hey look it's San Francisco!
The aliens have landed... in Paris?
