We got up early and bought a metro pass for the day. We took it out to the peripherique where there was supposed to be a flea market. It was a sleepy little town - without a flea market. But we wandered around, got breakfast, and got back on the metro. We took it to the opposite side of town, to La Defense (a.k.a. the Cube). It was really cold today, especially by La Defense, felt like low 40s. We walked around and looked at the interesting modern art peices and architecture around there, then headed to St. Germain-des-Pres. We found a cafe for lunch, and all got margarita pizzas that were really good (like Mister Pizza in Ste Foy). We found some boutiques that we went into.
When we were headed back to the metro we decided to have a race home. So Kate and Monique chose one line that connected to a different one, but then they would have to walk longer than Laura and I. L and I had 2 metro changes and it was a little less direct, but we got out closer to our apartement. Although Laura and I sprinted everywhere, we were pretty unlucky with all the timing of hitting the metros. So we came running in, and Kate and Monique had already been home for a few minutes. But it was fun though!
We decided to change rooms (since we're half way through), so we pulled everything out of our closets and drawers. Before we started putting things back though, the doorbell rang. It was our landlord who we hadn't met yet. She came to work on the internet. So the house was upside down, but she was nice about it... and got our Wifi working! She also helped me with the washing-machine (since it wouldn't drain) and was able to show me what I did wrong.
We are going to go to Sacre Coeur tonight after we watch the US vs England game.
