Paris Walk #11

Date: 10/27/12
Time Travel, Tricks, and Treats around Saint-Sulpice

This was another walk I did by myself. It was also another one I did so I would be out of the house more and my host mom wouldn't think I was depressed (see previous post). I decided I kind of really like doing walks by myself, because I can go at my own pace and just speed through things I don't really care about. This walk was already short, and I intended on skipping the Saint-Sulpice, but once I found out it was the 2nd biggest church in Paris, and featured in the Da Vinci Code, I had to go inside. I am really glad I did, because it is so different from any cathedral I've seen so far. It wasn't gothic at all, which was new for me, and I loved it. It was so extravagant and huge. I sat outside by a fountain reading about it, and this couple came up and asked me about it...in English. I talked to them for a little bit, and the girl was from Turkey, but studied at school in Irvine, an hour from my house in California! I thought that was really cool. I also passed a little shop that specializes in miniature figurines. I think I found the place where they make everything for the millions of dioramas around France...I also found an actual Ben and Jerry's shop, so I obviously had to stop and get ice cream- my favorite: Phish Phood! Don't knock it til you try it ;)

I had pictures of this, but they're now gone/somewhere lost on my computer because some creep stole my phone.
