June 18 - Day Five

Written by Adam

On June 18^th, we went to the Louvre (for a second time), the Sain

te Chapelle, and a laundromat. It was an interesting day.

At the Louvre, we went into the “Puget” Sculpture Court. There were so many beautiful sculptures. We kids each picked a sculpture and did a reading of it. After the reading, we all walked to the sculptures that we picked out and read our readings, and talked about what was happening in the sculpture.

Then we ate lunch in the gardens and played soccer with some locals and Mr. Travers’s friend, Fawaz. The locals were so much better than us. Our second visit to the Louvre was really fun.

Later that day we did some laundry. That was exciting. We were there for over two hours. During that time we did play cards, and ate éclairs from bakery around the corner.

At night, we went to a concert in Sainte Chapelle. Did you know that Sainte Chapelle was built to house a piece of the Holy Cross and the whole Crown of Thorns? We didn’t.

The concert (with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons) was really exciting, because one of the violinists was really good and enthusiastic.

After the concert we went to dinner at a restaurant across the street from the Sainte Chapelle. It had the best ice-cream ever! I think all of us really enjoyed day five.
