Shortly after lunch we departed for the Orsay museum. Again, we reminded the girls that some of the most famous impressionist works are housed in this museum and they have the opportunity to enter and view the pieces for FREE! One of the things I love about Paris is that they encourage young adults to become culturally educated by giving them access to the museums for free. The Orsay is much smaller and easier to navigate than the Louvre and the girls enjoyed their visit. We then walked to the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal and the home of St. Catherine Laboure - just beautiful. As we headed home, Rebecca, Caro Nunez, Caro Carasa and Katie Watson joined me at the Cafe Oz to watch the Amercian women defeat the French women soccer team - Go Team USA! Alex, Caryn and Olga ate at FIAP, while the other girls stopped at the Italian restaurant by FIAP for dinner.
Today, July 14th, in addition to Bastille Day, it's Rebecca Charur's birthday. We met for lunch and had the kitchen staff prepare a cake for her as we sang Happy Birthday. Later we're scheduled to go the movies to watch Harry Potter. The pictures posted are in front of the Orsay and at the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal.
As our trip winds down, I hope the girls have had an awesome time in London and Paris. While I'm glad to be headed home, I'll miss Paris - the City of Lights!
