The hottest day of the year…
From start to finish,
today was one thing: excruciatingly HOT! As soon as I woke up, there was talk
everywhere about how the weather would reach over 100 degrees. Luckily, we were
all provided with water bottles to take with us to the Counterfeit Museum. On
the way there we experienced our first burst of air conditioning since we
arrived at the country! Surprisingly one of the Metros had very decent seating
(for a Metro) as well as cold AC. It was extremely refreshing, especially when
paired with the sweltering heat. At the Counterfeit Museum we learned about the
differences between counterfeits, copies, and invention items. After that, we
had the rest of the day to ourselves. One thing I’ve noticed while in Paris is that
ice cubes are almost unheard of. One of my friends asked for a cup of ice once
and the waiter was in complete shock. Luckily at the restaurant I went to
today, there was ice placed in my tea. After a long and hot day it was exactly
what I needed.
