It's kind of hard to read the plaque, but it says "Loge du Fantôme de l'Opéra". Yep that is the phantom of the opera's box! Yesterday we got to go inside the opera house, and it is gorgeous! Unfortunately the main room was closed, so we'll have to go back. But just walking around in the foyers made me want to be in a ballgown, with gloves, fans and the works-I felt so underdressed in shorts and a t-shirt! I wanted to be dancing around singing Masquerade!
Hopefully these give you an idea of how gorgeous it is:

I can't even think of a single place in the U.S. that has so much gold, yet in France it seems like every other building you go into is covered in it. Despite all the elegance though, I am beginning to miss America. I love France, and definitely am appreciating the wonderful opportunity that I have to be here. But it has also made me realize all of the things that I love about America. So it will be bittersweet to go home I think.
