A l'aeroport et tout va bien.

At the airport, through security, and all is well!

Friday: I love Paris in the (almost) Springtime.

Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre. 

From the top of le Panthéon. 

In the Musée d'Orsay. 

Thursday, Episode 0: Paris!

In the rain!  We arrived at the hotel and are just heading out to Montmartre. More later on!

Wednesday, Episode 3: Farewell, for now...

Emilie de Rodat really gave us a wonderful send-off; an evening of tapas, lots of laughs and (I think) no broken hearts. Bon. We've got such an amazing group of students, on both the French and American sides!

Wednesday, Episode 2: Cité de l'Espace

After lunch, we went to do a little science at "Space City!"  This is an indoor/outdoor museum with a history of discovery in space and a view towards the future. 

Alex, posing as a rocket. 

Kiana, about to finally succeed in blowing up the balloon (a little).

One of three training models of the Mir space station. 

Wednesday, Episode 1: All's Well that Ends with Physics.

We got to spend this morning attending classes with our hosts, and a number of our students were in "Physique-Chimie."  What's more, they largely understood the lesson about the conservation of energy!

I am so proud. 

Tuesday, Episode 3: Back to Toulouse.
