From above

I took these from the front balcony of the Opera Garnier when I visited with my mom last week. It was the first nice day we'd had in quite a while and it was so great to be out in the sun.

Out and about

Now that the research paper is finally done (yay!) I should be able to get back to posting more regularly. Some pictures from recent day trips are coming up, but in the meantime here are a few random photos I've taken while exploring the city.

The courtyard of the Louvre.

Some really cool building that I think is a bank, and a shot of Velib' in action.

Books and old suitcases at Shakespeare & Co. - two of my favorite things put together!

Indiana Café. I've actually seen several Indiana-themed restaurants, but they all seem to be related to Native Americans. I also saw one place called "Indiana Tex-Mex."

Good morning, Paris

My first glimpse of sunrise as I stepped out of the metro on the way to class, near Place de la Concorde and the Madeleine.
