The view of the sun going down/ moon rising was really beautiful from my windows the other night.

I haven't been up to all that much lately. Mostly just going to class and watching "Arrested Development". I think I'm going on the school sponsored trip to Versailles all day tomorrow, so hopefully I'll come back with some interesting pictures that don't scream "ditzy tourist" too loudly. I'm hoping the gardens are still in nice condition.

Yesterday, I did do some walking around the 15th arrondissement, where Parsons Paris is located. Its a nice area, much more residential than some of the other areas of Paris. There really aren't too many big tickets sights to draw tourists either, especially as you move farther away from the Seine. I like having the opportunity to be totally submersed real Parisian neighborhoods, instead of places that cater mostly to tourists.


While I was taking this picture, a guy working at a fruit stand behind me asked me why I wasn't taking a picture of the building behind me. I told him it wasn't as pretty as this one (it was really ugly). I kind of like the absurd decorative flourishes.
