I have officially arrived in Paris! Our flight left JFK around 10:00 pm, and we landed at Charles de Gaulle around 10:00 am. We were wandering around the airport for a bit after we picked up our luggage looking for our advisors, but we eventually found them. We are also being filmed for MICEFA, so a camera man follows us around everywhere. From the airport we headed to La Cité, where we are living. It's beautiful on the outside; there are several buildings on the campus, each for students from different countries. Our rooms are singles, but they are, well, interesting...And the bathrooms and kitchens on each floor are also interesting...But I had my first trip to the grocery store, a small market down the block. I found quinoa, almond milk, and lots of fresh fruits, veggies, and baguette. I also had my first experience on Paris public transportation. It's cloudy and raining but in the fifties. Tomorrow we have a cruise down la Seine and a dinner.
