I woke up around 10:00 feeling pretty good. I’m in Paris for the long weekend instead of Lyon, so I was excited to get out and explore.


For breakfast, I had a bowl of cereal. nothing fancy, but it got the job done. After that, we got ready and headed out for the day.


Our first stop was the Louvre Museum. I’d seen pictures before, but seeing it in real life was awesome. The building is huge, and there’s art everywhere. I saw some really famous paintings and statues. It was crazy to think about how old some of them are.


After the museum, I was starving. We went to a Haitian restaurant called Haitian Mama, and the food was so good. It was cool to find Haitian food in the middle of Paris, and it definitely reminded me of home.

Then we went to Amorino for ice cream. They make the scoops look like a flower, which was cool, and it tasted amazing. I picked mango and vanilla.


In the afternoon, we just walked around the city. Paris is really nice, and every street kind of looks like a movie set. We saw lots of shops, cafés, and a bunch of cool buildings.

Later that evening, we went to the Eiffel Tower. The line to get up was super long, but we waited. When we finally made it to the top, it was so worth it. The view was insane. You could see the whole city! It was probably my favorite part of the day.

After that, we headed back home, tired but happy. It was a really fun day, and I’m glad I got to spend the weekend in Paris.

I honestly didn’t think much when I first got on the plane from Amsterdam to Lyon. All I cared about was sleep, sleep, and sleep. I kept looking out of the window in the plane, dreaming about having a nice bed to lie down on instead of this snug leather seat that’s also making my neck hurt. The nice view does negate the pain a little, however.  As I arrive, I am greeted by Khalil’s mom and Khalil. We exchanged some words before driving off. I didn’t talk much given that I was completely exhausted. I wish we could go straight home, but Khalil’s mom insisted we go out to eat before heading home. I eventually agreed. I enjoyed the views of Lyon and found it to be way more tropical than Boston, yet there is no sea. Modern yet also traditional, for when you feel this place is too modern, especially looking at their metro, the old cathedrals and century-old castles downtown neutralize it. The train looks like it’s made by Tesla, with how it’s almost all glass and see-through.  Bac...

Good Morning, Parents, I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day. On May 26 we started out with our first visit to Saint Marc. We got a tour of their beautiful chapel and school building. We ate school lunch and then we left for the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fourvière. This church was spectacular and perfectly constructed. On the guided tour we got amazing access to towers, cool backrooms, the bell room, and breathtaking views. Then we went into old Lyon where Madame bought us ice cream and we had free time to do as we please. Personally, I went with Seamus, Dean, and Hugh to try French Tacos as well as French snacks. We then walked back to school and went home with our exchange buddies. I went to rock climbing and got to know some of Valentin’s friends. We then ate dinner around 9 with his family and headed to bed a little early in preparation for our visit to a medieval village and underground caves.

First, the group grabbed croissants from an authentic French bakery. They were delicious! Any Boston treats would not compare. We then all took a bus to the first stop of the day, a medieval village. The scenery of the French countryside was gorgeous. The name of the French medieval village was called Pérouges. We first saw a beautiful church there with high ceilings, completely made out of stone. This was the entrance to the village and we knew we were expecting beautiful houses. The following pictures show the stone houses, stone roads, beautiful weather, and vibrant plants and wildlife within the village. After the beautiful visit, we went to see some caves after another bus ride. These caves were high, expansive, and had tight winding pathways in between. The tour guide provided us with extensive knowledge on the founding and creation of the caves/site.
