Class Got Cancelled

My Feet Hurt

So TR we’re supposed to have French 130 – Cathedrals’ History, a class which I’m NOT looking forward to. In any case, today it got cancelled. I had two choices; I could stay in and relax, or walk around. Du-uh, I chose the latter. I decided to visit the Jardin de Luxembourg, a park a couple of miles away from the hotel. I was supposed to take the Goblin’s Avenue. Unfortunately, Parisian streets are rather … crooked; very few are actually straight from end to end, and most change names every time they meet another street. Needless to say, I got lost. Luckily I have this handy dandy map, which eventually helped me get to the garden. Here’s my journey. Ches!

Jardin de Luxembourg

At last, I arrived to the garden. It’s a pretty neat place. There are tons and tons of chairs all over the place; one can easily chill there unnoticed and reflect about life. There were people jogging, couples being couples, individuals reading, old people taking naps & people just taking the sun. I really liked it, Imma go read there soon, but next time I’ll take the metro. =] On my way out, I visited the Musee du Luxenbourg. The exhibit was

FILIPPO ET FILIPPINO LIPPI -- LA RENAISSANCE À PRATO.

It was nice, very religious. Couldn't get pics, though. The castle-like building seen from the garden is the Palais de Luxembourg, where the french senat is.
