Paris was a great weekend. I'll get pictures up at some point this week. Class is going to be pretty busy this week though. The module is aerodynamics, and we will have a project in the wind tunnel to complete.
I think I packed a lot into 2 days in Paris. Went to the Boulogne market on Saturday to buy some charcuterie and cheeses. Wound up with a camembert, a goat cheese, and a "stinky" sheep's milk too. The goat wound up being my favorite. Also enjoyed plenty of baquettes, a croissant, chausson pomme (apple), and pain au chocolat. Sights I saw included the Eiffel Tower, the entrance to the Louvre, Champs Elysses, Arc de Triumph, Grand Paris Opera, Bastille, Sacre-coeur, Parc Floral, Chateu de Vincennes, and I suppose that was all. It did rain both days, though there was plenty of sunshine on Sunday. Overall I think the most impressive part was simply the architecture of the whole city. Most all the buildings are so interesting to look at. I wish I remembered more of my architectural history class!
Well I'm back in freezing Milton Keynes now, it was 30F (not C if you read this earlier, thx) this morning. Frost was everywhere. Glad the 49ers are so bad that I don't want to go watch them in London this weekend (the Panthers got their first win against them yesterday). Well anyway, I should head over to class. I think it's going to be fluid dynamics basics this morning, really hope I can stay awake...
