The Students' First Week in Paris

Kate has been so happy since the students arrived 10 days ago.  Last night was Family Home Evening and we had chicken tacos and a birthday cake for Hillary.  It is such a fun group of girls to hang out with.  They are all planning their trips for the two long weekends in February when they don't have classes.  Some are off to Florence, others to Nice or Venice. 
Kate has been out and about with the students going on the different walks for their Paris Walks class and taking pictures all over Paris.  Here are some photos of Kate and the students taken their first week in Paris.

Angelina is on the rue de Rivoli and is famous for its hot chocolate.  Last time we were in Paris, Kate went with her cousin Sydney to try it out.  The waitress brings a bowl of hot milk and little pitcher of thick dark chocolate.  It was too rich and dark a chocolate for Kate last time.  It is expensive and Sydney told her she had to drink it all--until Kate looked like she was ready to throw up.  Kate took some of the girls to Angelina last week--I was surprised.  She happily told me she likes their hot chocolate now--she has more sophisticated tastes.

We think the flowers are one thing that is reasonably priced in Paris.
