Tonight was the best night I've had in Paris so far. It was so fun!! After class got out we headed over to the Champs Elysées to buy our tickets for the film Minuit à Paris (Midnight in Paris) by Woody Allen--it's the opening film for the Cannes Film Festival today and so we got to see one of the first showings in Paris. It doesn't come out in the U.S. for another 3 weeks. It was so cute! I'm not sure if I would have liked it quite as much if I didn't see it while in Paris. I think I would have, but it's so much better when you recognize places you've been! But I won't spoil it for you :) Walking back to the metro afterwards was a bit surreal, especially with the music echoing through the metro, it felt like we were in the movie.
Before the movie we went up the Arc de Triomphe! It was super cool. And we got into it for free with our art cards, I swear those things are like magic! Got a huge workout walking up all of those stairs. And the view is amazing!! I like it better than the Eiffel Tower. Here's a taste:

Oh! Almost forgot. This morning we did our metro walk. We had to pick a line and get off at random stops and find something to take a picture of, and then get back on again. We ended up in a very non-touristy area (with our backpacks for class and cameras, I felt a little out of place haha). But I did get some cool pictures of a very different side of Paris.

Well that's all for now! Tomorrow we have a class picnic by the Eiffel Tower and we are going to the markets on Rue Cler for delicious food. Paris is the best!
