June 16

Today we got to sleep in to recover from our jet lag. We met at 1pm and took the city bus to the Louvre. The most famous things we saw there were Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, and Venus de Milo. We also saw some paintings by Italian and French artists. After the Louvre, we came back to Paris American Academy. We learned French table settings and manners from Agnes, and James got us started on design project we'll be doing. The owner of the academy, Peter, took us all out to dinner at La Vin Sobre. Lindsay and I are playing on the computers in the academy's basement now. Her birthday is tomorrow, so we're trying to figure out somewhere to go to celebrate tonight.
