Bonne Journee

Today was a good Paris day.
I got up at a decent hour, and went to the American Church for the 11am service. I really like that church. Even though I miss FPCB tons, I feel like it's becoming a home away from home. Plus, they were celebrating the 20th anniversary of their organ (which is amazingly beautiful, by the way) and the thing is named after me! It's Rebecca Hauptpfeiffer auf Ratenzahlung (or, as I described it to a friend, Rebecca German von German German), and the entire sermon, the Senior Pastor was referring to it as "Becky".

Anyways, that's not that interesting of a story.
After church, I wandered over to the Louvre for my first [very short] visit. Sweet Briar does this great thing and lies to the Louvre and says that all of their students are art history majors so that we can get a free "art student" pass. I visited just a few rooms (my mom's favorites) of art objects from the middle ages. I ate at the cafeteria there, and then went to the tuilerie gardens and sat and read for a while.

By that time, I was exausted, so I went back home to "faire un dodo" for an hour or so. After that, I went back to church for a free organ concert at 5 with my friend Sherene. The organist was extremely cute in an extremely dorky way, and Sherene teased me that he was my future husband. I then "rentre'd" chez moi and just finished dinner.

Oh yeah. While at the Louvre, I went to the boutique of Fragonard, which is a French perfume line. One of my goals before leaving France is to find my "signature fragrance". I know exactly what I want ( a simple, light, floral fragrance that isn't too sweet; something like jasmine or orange blossom). I liked their eau de toilette de fleurs de ceriseir (cherry blossom), but it might be on the too sweet side. On va voir!
