Last Day in Paris

Today, Tuesday is our last day in Paris. Today our friend Matt arrived this morning from the States. So now there are four of us staying in Paris. Today we did a lot of walking around. We also took the metro. We visited the Institut du Monde Arabe (Arab World Institute) by Jean Nouvel. The building is interesting because of its metallic screen that consists of operable shadeing devices. We also walked through a park , and saw many interesting modern buildings. We took a break from all of the walking to grab some drinks in a small streetside cafe. One interesting think about all of the streetside cafes, is that all of the patrons actually face the street, similar to a "tv family," with everyone on one side of the table. During our stay in Paris, we typically went to the supermarket and prepared our meals ourselves, so one last thing we wanted to do on our visit was eat at a French restaurant; so we had dinner just around the corner from the apartment. I order chicken, while TJ ordered veal, Charles order lamb, and Matt ate a sandwich. All of our meals were prepared well, but nothing was "to die for."
