Paris with my high school (30 March)

But day before Italy,  I went to Paris for the day with my French class at Air Pur (to look at the locations in the Latin Quarter where the famous thinkers in France went to think)

Leaving the house at 6 in the morning

To go get on a bus

Stopping in France for a breakfast. Pain au chocolat and croissants

My French class sort of organised the trip, but they invited the Reinforcement French classes as well, which are classes for people who felt like they didn't have enough Lit/Philosophy/Poetry/French essays with just 6 hours a week.

Sunset, back in the bus

Going home after sunset, ended up at home by 12:30.  It's a long drive (especially with traffic out of Paris) normally 2 or 3 hours, but it took us 4.
