Friday (3/15)

Today, we all went to the Eiffel Tower, but it was so windy that we were not able to go to the top, only the second floor, It was still a breath-taking view. A few of us were searching for the Eiffel Tower while in the Tower until we realized where we were. I noticed that the greetings in Paris are different than America because Parisians turn away from you, but Americans will smirk or nod. It was a weird adjustment. We all then went to the musée de l’homme to see the development of humans overtime. It was interesting but I am more fascinated by human anatomy than culture and history. I then got lunch with a few others from the class and had my one-billionth serving of pasta (but it was worth it). We all then went to the Pasteur House after and saw his old laboratory and bedrooms. Then we all went to the Musée des arts et métiers and was shown the development of French technology over time. I particularly enjoyed the advancement of the loom because I enjoy crafts and I want to learn basket weaving(which requires the same weaving technique). I then ate dinner near the hotel with a few people and went to bed.
