I did have a nice conversation with my host mom at dinner, where I explained room draw, housing at carleton and having a cat named kim. It was a little confusing, but I think she understood me. It would probably be hilarious to hear myself from their perspective. Because sometimes I'll say a word and my host parents won't understand because I can't say it properly.
Today I had a short presentation in my class, which went fine. Mine was pretty short and easy, and I was worried I didn't have enough. Turns out I had really done all I could have. Then Anna Becky and I, after lunch, went to Montmartre and wandered the super tourist-y stores. As much as I pride myself on not being a horrible tourist, do I ever enjoy tourist shops.
Then we met the rest of the group and had a little tour of the major mosque of Paris. It was pretty cool, and afterwards we had mint tea and pastries in the salon de thé. The mint tea was amazing! I guess it's green tea, mint tea, and sugar. It was pretty amazing. And the pastries we had were almondy or pistachio-y...various kinds of nuts, sugar, coconut, flour...they were tasty.
And that's the last couple of days. I think I'm going to take a nap before dinner now, because I was about ready to pass out at the end of the mosque visit. I am so tired!
