J m'appelle Gwen!
They say that going to a foreign country is the best way to learn a language. While I certainly couldn't have a conversation, I'm learning all sorts of new words in French. "Dimanche" means Sunday. "Gauche" means left. Maybe tomorrow I'll figure out how to say "right" but I won't get my hopes up.
Yesterday I went to the Louvre; and it was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how many paintings that I've studied in school were there. Once the museum closed I left and took a nap in front of it. Oh, I also went to the Picasso Museum! That was a lot of fun too. They had this big exhibition on Dora Maar, who was Picasso's mistress/muse. There were also a whole bunch of photographs by Picasso which I had never seen before.
Today I climbed Sacre Coeur which is this big hill with a million steps and at the top is this really big church. Then I walked around Montmartre, met up with my friend Ilan, and now I'm going to have dinner with my friend Caitlin.
Au revoir!
Oh, and yesterday I had an almond croissant, and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten.

P.S. If memory serves, right is "droight," but it has been a while.
