Day 7: La Saint Chappelle
Today (or actually it was yesterday because I was too tired to write this last night) I had a nice relaxing day. I had a long lunch in a restaurant close to my house which was quite good, it was a little annoying though because I was speaking french to them and they were speaking french to me until I pulled out my english book to read while I waited and than.....they spoke english to me. So I asked them to speak french to me and after that they said everything first in english and than in French. So I went to a used book store and bought a french book to read so I don't look like a tourist and don't get spoken to in english. Anyways, than I went to meet a friend at Notre Dame, but the line to get in was long and the line to go up was even longer so we decided to go to la Palais de la Justice instead. We went and waited in a much shorter line there and when we got to the front we realised it was a line to go to La Saint Chappelle, but since we both like to see churches we decided to do it anyways. What a good decision that was, I can honestly say La Saint Chappelle was the most beautiful church I have ever seen, it definatly look my breath away. Lots and lots of beautiful stained glass windows and beautiful painted ceilings. It was phenomanal. Anyways after that I bought my french book, than I came back home and had dinner with my family after which we watched Grand Torino, which I have already seen but it is such a great movie that I definatly wanted to see it again. It was kinda confusing though because we watched it in english with french subtitles and I was listening to the english and reading the french and the version's wern't matching up exactly so it was really confusing me and I decided I had to pay attention to only one. I didn't watch very much of the movie though, because I had to go call my mom and than talk to nick on skype so the weird two language thing wasn't a huge problem.
