The next day had a bunch of fun things to do in Paris as a group . Before we left, I had a wonderful buttery croissant and coffee. I also packed a croissant sandwich for a snack later on. First thing in the morning, we went to see La Tour de Eiffel. I was disappointed to hear we could not climb to the top due to the wind. It was still beautiful to take in the sights of Paris from a different view, and experience the tower in the day time. After spending some time at the Eiffel Tour, we ventured on to the Museé de L’Homme. I really enjoyed this museum. It was interactive yet informative even though most information was in French. After this museum, I went to a local bakery to enjoy some coffee and pastries. It is nice to know that coffees and pastries are similar in France, England, and the US. I can still manage to order things I would like! It was fun to sit outside and feel French for a second. As a class, we traveled over to the Pasteurs museum. I found it very interesting to see all of Pasteurs experiment equipment. I liked learning more about the s-shaped flask and how he actually did those experiments. Obviously, this has directly affected how we live day-to-day with the discovery of microbes. It is great that they have managed to save and preserve so much of this history. We then went to another guided tour at Museé de Arts et Métiers. It was great to hear what the guide had to say about the museum, but I did wish we had more time to explore. We then made our way back to the hotel. We stopped and ate a yummy meal with gelato and wine as dessert.
