Versailles et Paris

Have you ever heard of Versailles? Well, that was where we were at for a good portion of our day. We had an interesting guidée du châtue. Of which we afterward had a lunch. This was the first time I ordered my food without the aid of anyone in French. It turned out well enough to where I got what I wanted and was able to ask for my check afterward.





































































Then we left for Paris to continue our guided tour. We pasted by some major sights: les Champs-Èlysées, l’Arc de Triomphe, la Tour Eiffel, les Grands boulevards, les Invalides (where we stopped and saw the Crypt, or tomb, of Napoleon), Notre Dame (where the President of France just happened to be, so we were not able to really see it), etc.


















































































After our tour we were dropped off near Montmarte where we could walk around. We spotted Moulin Rouge and also found a wonderful view of Paris, then at 19h30 (7:30) we had Dîner en commun sur la butte Montmartre. By the way, if you are vegan, which I am, it is very hard to eat around here. But it is possible.

Château de Chambord, Cathédrale de Chartres, et Paris

This morning we had an early petit-déjeuner à l’hôtel (breakfast at the hotel). About 09h00, we left for château de Chambord. This is one amazing castle. After spending a few hours there we went to Chartres, had lunch, and then visited the Cathédrale de Chartres. It was amazing. Officially the first Cathédrale I have seen in Europe. A few minutes before leaving, though, a friend and I were able to run up the North Tower and take a few shots. Truly a wondrous view.








































































































































Afterwards we found ourselves officially leaving and arriving in Paris. Since we were able to travel around a bit after we checked into our hotel a few of us were off at once. I’ve included pictures of some of the sights we saw.

Des Hospices de Beaune et Blois

Today we began our journey to Paris, France. The language institute that I am part of has a few travel experiences that it brings its students to throughout the year. And the first major one is to Paris with a few stops on the way and one after.

Today we visited libre des Hospices de Beaune. Where we had out déjeuner (lunch). The Hospices de Beaune was a hospital that functioned for years. With amazing architecture and more amazing artwork, this place was just enjoyable to be at.



















































We continued our journey to Blois where we stayed at à l’hôtel. It was wonderful. We were able to walk around and take some pictures. So I have included those for you.

Up the Seléve

Today is going to be my last Sabbath in Collonges for a few weeks. Thereby meaning that it will be my last few times to catch the fall leaves before it is winter. So, we hiked up the Seléve. The Seléve are a series of mountains that are wonderful and majestic. I have posted some of the pictures that I was able to take. Hope you enjoy.

Chamonix, France

Today the language institute took IFLE student to Chamonix (pronounced Cha-mo-ni). Chamonix is a wonderful place with tall mountain ranges. From here, one could see many various sights - probably one of the most famous is Mount Blanc is is situated directly behind Chamonix’s peak. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

Goodbye Sweedes

There are times in life when one meets people that just pass by and recollections are not so meaningful. But then there are times where one meets people who will affect and truly impact them. As for the last few weeks, this is what a group of relatively recent friends have become; a group that has made a powerful impact in my life. And to want them to be here would be selfish. So, I am thankful for the time that I have had to spend with them.

The memories have become many; and as one said to me, “It is as if we have known you for a long time.” I am moved to the same sentiments. As another has said, “We know why God sent you to France. It was to meet us.” And, if for no other reason, I am sure that I have already fulfilled part of my mission here in France. I have been truly touched to a part of my being that has needed to be filled by friendship and joy.

The fact is official. The words are certain. The reality is true. I miss all of you and I hope to meet all of you once again. May the Lord add his watch, care, and grace over each and everyone of you. Truly, I have been helped to see from the beginning of my European journey the true reason as to why I exist - to help spread the Three Angeles’ Messages to all the world in this generation as a young person!

Revive the Remnant 2005

This is something that I found and have forgotten that I once had. I hope that you enjoy.
