Today was a trying day. We had to change hotels in the morning so all of us girls had to drag all of luggage 5 blocks through the steep hills of Montmarte. My muscles still ache. To catch a breath we had some coffee and lunch at the next door cafe, and the waiter was very rude. It took 40 minutes for him to bring the bill. Then we thought that shopping would lift our spirits, so after multiple metro stops we ended up in central Paris where all the shops are only to find out that everything is closed on Sunday! Feeling defeated we headed back on the metro being crammed into the car like sardines. Paris is not as perfect as I thought. I'm ready to dive right into my studies. Tomorrow we're visiting Medecins du Monde (Doctors of the World) for a discussion on the roles of NGOs and Civil Society in the sector of Public Health and complex emergencies.
