I thought you all might want to see some photos of my adventures as of late, so I have uploaded several dozen photos (I'm taking a study break, not procrastinating, I promise) for your viewing pleasure:
On the way to the Loire Valley:
Eating in a Cave! So cool!!!:
 |
| This picture is for you, Mom! They had little mustard packets! You'll fit in just fine here! ;D |
Amboise:
 |
| My new home??? Yes please! |
Chateau Chambord:
 |
| This staircase was designed by DaVinci! |
 |
| It is in the shape of a double helix. |
 |
| They would hang large tapestries like this one on the walls to add color and to keep the heat from escaping. |
 |
| Francois 1er's bed/bedroom. |
 |
| Francois 1er (un roi de France/A French King) |
 |
| Marie d'Autriche's bed/room. |
 |
| Louis XIV's room! Soooo much gold--I have a feeling it resembles Versailles... |
 |
| More of Louis XIV's room. |
Le Centre Pompidou:
 |
| PICASO! |
 |
| DUCHAMP! I studied this piece in my art history class last year! So surreal to see it in person! |
 |
| Kandinsky! |
 |
| Gotta love Warhol! |
 |
| View from the museum! Just gorgeous! |
 |
| The tower lit up while we were looking out over the city from the top of the museum after our tour. |
The Eiffel Tower Take 2:
 |
| My very first view of the tower...ever! |
 |
| I saw this while we were walking to the tower from the metro stop--it says Pullman! But I don't know why lol! |
 |
| Since the tower was closed (for "exceptional circumstances") that afternoon, we decided to just walk along the Seine as the sun set. |
Miscellaneous
 |
| The view from the plane--the clouds look just like cotton candy to me hehehe. |
 |
| Interesting effect with the blades when I take a picture of them. They can't be seen with the naked eye because they are moving too fast, but when I took a picture of them, they would show up in weird ways... |
 |
| Somewhere over Western Washington. |
 |
| The cafe machine at the IES center. This picture is for Nicole. Is it the same magical machine, Nicole? Everyone here thinks it has to be some form of magic that makes it work lol! |
Le Parc Montsouris (which is right by my homestay):
More of Amboise, just because I love it soooo much!:
