Château de Vincennes

So I'm back at Mudd, but I'll update you on the last weekend in Paris. I went to the Château de Vincennes with my cousin on Sunday, and had French lunch and dinner with Glennis and Alexa on Saturday. We made a tiramisu from a recipe my host mom gave me and it was fantastic. We finished the whole thing in a half-hour. The castle was really cool. This is the castle within a castle: the fortress of the king.


And here's the chapel, done in the flamboyant gothic style.



After visiting the castle, my cousin and I headed back to the Latin Quarter, and I finally got a picture of the big statue of Saint Michael.

Glennis and I met up after I got back from the castle and hung out on the Champ de Mars in front of the Eiffel Tower. We saw this woman with a crazy hat and got a picture of her as she posed with some random tourists.
