This morning I realized that my apartment shares the block with a church. The bells chime every morning.

At one in the afternoon, we met at the fountain in le place Saint Sulpice, which houses a gorgeous church. Inside, we looked at murals painted by Delacroix. One of the highlights was a modern video installation illustrating the annunciation. It was surprising to see a major historical site recognizing the cultural value of contemporary art.

Following the visit to the church, we took a walking tour of the Latin Quarter, ending with another café visit (Café Panis: un bière, Kronenberg, et des frites). That night, I met with Monica, Paloma, Alyssa, and Shaelyn for un pizza fromage and du vin at Pizza del Mondo (16, rue des Trois Fréres, Montmartre).

Objective Truth: It is en vogue for women to wear cowgirl boots and skinny jeans even in Paris.
