Free Day in Paris

After the "exhausting" weekend, we decided to give the girls a "free day in Paris" i.e. no planned outings. We went back to the area with L'Opera and Galleries Lafayette. Some girls toured the opera house, while some girls toured the shopping malls - you know who you are! In the evening, FIAP hosted a dinner for our group as well as groups from Canada, Brazil and Argentina. After a little coaxing, we seated the girls with the other groups so they can get to know some of their fellow students. The evening turned out quite well and we all realized that teenagers are teenagers no matter where they come from! Today we are scheduled to have a picnic at Jardin du Luxembourg and this evening we are scheduled for our boat tour along the Seine River. I will post picture when we return from our outing. The girls have been great and while I know they are enjoying Paris - some are just a tad homesick.
