Days 20, 21, and 22

Day 20- We went to a mosque in Paris built after WWI to commemorate African Muslim soldiers who fought for France or something like that. It was very pretty and peaceful, and all of the really intricate details were carved by hand! There are more pics in the picture post I put up.

Day 21- For French class we had to read a chapter from this book by an American guy named Ted Stanger. The book was called Sacres Francais!. It was interesting- the chapter we read was about the use (or lack thereof) of statistics regarding ethnicity and religion in France and how that related to the immigrant experience of France and their sentiments regarding feelings of either inclusion or exclusion in France. Then for lunch I had grilled pigs ears and escargot. They were both actually really, really good.
For dinner we went out to this really cool dinner in the Bastille area. The whole area had a really hip vibe to it. It was the kind of place with a really cool, suave ambiance. They were playing jazz and Latin music, and it was just very cool. Then we went to an gelato place called Amarino a few blocks down. It was possibly some of the best stuff I've ever had in my life. they gave out really big portions for a really great price, and the vibe was cool, and it was delicious.

Day 22- went to the Musee Rodin for my art class. It was really cool. I saw the Thinker, of course, and a bunch of other really cool Rodin pieces.
