Today was our final day of lecture at PULV. We went through our normal routine, however, Jill and I did wake up on time this day. Dr. Nivet lectured to us again about the European Union and their relationships with other countries. We did really get stuck on the topic of Great Britain and how they were connected in the EU. How they have been threatening to pull out, but probably won't. The EU does not have anything in a referendum about if a country left the EU because they never thought of that. We also talked about the ramifications of Great Britain pulling out of the EU and what the consequences would be for America.

We ended our time at PULV with taking some quick pictures and then heading off. We got on the metro and left to go to Montmartre to see the Sacre-Coeur which means Sacred Heart in french. We ate first when we got there, which happened to be at France's version of an American restaurant. I think it might have been called Buffalo Bills or something like that. The food was good, but it was interesting to see their take on us. We then went up to the top of the hill and got to see the basilica. I had actually never even heard of Sacre-Coeur before that day. It was very beautiful. We also browsed around and looked at the artwork and pieces they had there. Jill and I died a little inside at all of the shopping places that we passed on our way down the hill, but didn't stop at. So sad. |

When we got back to the hotel, the fab 5 (Dan, Pat, Jill, Steve, and Myself) went out for a walk around Paris to the Eiffel Tower. Here was where I fell for those stupid marketers. This guy came up to me and handed me a rose telling me it was for me. I forgot about these scandals and thanked him to which he began hounding Steven for a euro. The sucker. So Jill and I ended up with a rose each courtesy of Dan and Steven. Thank you Dan and Steven for our beautiful roses :)We then headed back to the hotel for some much needed sleep.
