Traveling: It leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

I spent a lot of time observing classes at the end of last week, so there wasn’t much to report, but on Friday I observed the World Class Museums course. This is such a neat course because pretty much every class they go out to a different art museum or do a town walk to talk about architecture. I got to join them at Palais des Beaux Arts (the art museum I was at the first weekend). Even though I had been to the museum before this professor only focused on paintings on the 2nd floor, so I got to learn about some other pieces. Below are a few of the paintings we saw/learned about.

Saturday, I went to the big bookstore to make some purchases and decided on the way home to stop at the covered market. I ordered a pizza to take back to my apartment for lunch, so while I was waiting I walked around and took some pictures of the market. You can get fruits, veggies, meat, seafood, baked goods and more Tues-Sun in this covered market.

My pizza-I still don’t 100% understand why the dough is black, but it was really good!
Toursade au chocolat-I got this at the market and saved it for my afternoon snack (the French often have a snack around 4pm and then don’t eat dinner until after 7pm). I enjoyed it with a glass of peach juice-I’ve been really enjoying the juices here because they are basically watered down fruit puree, not Kool-Aid style and they are very affordable! I think strawberry is my favorite, but they’ve all been delicious!
