Paris is such an amazing city! I studied this past summer at l'institute catholique as part of my university's study abroad program and I can't wait to go back.

Despite the darn weather, you managed to take good shots. I always enjoy reading blogs about one's student days: the excitement, the nagging 'fear', the novelty of everything, the anxiety even. Thanks for sharing.

Great commentary
Hopefully you will have time to go see Sacre-Coure. It is in a cute neighborhood and there are great views. Love your photography. I can't wait to hear what you decide about school. Your future is bright!
