Say Cheese.

We spent the day fighting the weather. We left our apartment at 9 this morning. The room was cool, so we knew the day would be, but we didn't know how wet we would become. We met Walt and Judy outside the Parc de Buttes Chaumant. It is the park in the city that Napolean workedto get through. It was a pretty neat park one with a lot of history. Apparently executions used to take place there and gallows were a permanent thing. Later the site was used as a gypsum quarry. Today the park is like fairyland. There is a tall hill that has a temple situated in the best of areas. There is also a grotto inside a cave through which a river flows from on high. It was here that the rain started. I had an umbrella, so it wasnt too bad and we walked through the rest of the park with few cameras and sketchbooks out of their bags.

We then took the metro as a class to Le Parc de la Villette. It was built in 1989 and was a very interesting location study. The park is built on a series of rooms and has several buildings for different activities including music, sports and theatre. There were severel themed "rooms" and many different types of play equipment. On one lawn sits what looks like a giants bycycle was buried in the area. At the end of the park Andie took a joy ride down a very long, wet slide and unable to stop, found the large puddle at the bottom, and everyone of us with our cameras running.

Short time left, short blog.
