I went to France

I'm going to be honest. Chances of me writing long, detailed blog posts of what I did on my study tour to France are slim. While I was on that trip, at least until we got to Paris, I made a list entitled "Potential Blog Posts." Instead of letting these blog posts reach their full potential, I'm going to type them up here for you.
  • Feeling like Harry Potter on my way to catch the bus (It was kind of dark outside, and I was pulling my suitcase down the street and nobody was around. Like that scene after Harry inflates Aunt Marge. Except that a suitcase is easier to pull than a trunk. And I was on my way to France.)
  • Ordering "2 scrambled eggs" gets you "2 ham and egg plates." In case you ever need to order breakfast at a truck stop in Luxembourg.
  • Went to Verdun. Saw the battlefield.
  • While in a restaurant in Verdun, we met a couple that owns a resort in Minnesota. They recommended a piano bar in Paris that we didn't end up visiting.
  • The actual town of Verdun is so small - my friend Devika and I went walking in the morning to see the church and the World Center for Peace.
  • First French croissant!
  • Saw 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Reims
  • Champagne. It was pretty good.
  • Flaming Creme Brulee!

  1. Hey! I can post a comment!
    Was the French croissant delicious? Was the champagne? My mom says you can make a meal out of a bottle of wine and a baguette in France.
