Melanie's Travels - Europe 2005
Touring the sewers of a city... Brilliant? Or stooping to the lowest form of tourism? I'm not sure but the morning was interesting to say the least. Touring Paris's sewers was a nice change from the museums and churches that by this time have started to blend together. The tour had these really cheesy displays that weren't very interesting, but at least it makes a good story. How many people can say they have been in Paris's sewers?
As I was walking across town to the Pompidou Center I stumbled upon the Paris Opera House. To tell the truth I wouldn't have recognized it if I hadn't overheard a tour guide talking about it... I took a closer look and snapped a couple of photos.
The Pompidou center was interesting. I have to admit that I am not a big fan of modern art, but instead of organizing the art according to date or artist it was organized by themes. Different rooms were filled with art that evoked some kind of feeling or emotion, which I think made the art more relatable.
I met our new roommate tonight, her name is Jenny and she is from Chicago. As great as it is to have the room to ourselves, I was glad that some more people came in tonight. Hanging out with other people relieves some of the tension that Hannah causes me.
