Break

Right now, the United States is all about hurricanes and Halloween.  Meanwhile, here in France, the students are on break.  All of them.  And since I'm part of the system, I'm taking advantage of it too.  So what am I going to do with my week?  Let's just say, 'bon voyage.'

To make it short, I am going by train to Paris tomorrow morning, spending three days there and seeing pretty much everything I can.  The Eiffel Tower, The Champs Elysée, L'Arc de Triumph, and possibly things like the Catacombs, the various cemeteries, the Notre Dame, and pretty much anywhere else I can go to on foot.

After Paris, I am going once again by train to Brussels, Belgium, where I will commence my search for the best French Fries, the best Waffles, and the best chocolate.  Then, Sunday night, Coheed and Cambria, one of the bands on my bucket list, is playing, which of course, I am going to go see.  Strike one off the list.

Finnaly, the day before classes restart, I will voyage back to my now familiar part of a once unknown country/continent.
