Breakfast and the Inauguration

I love jam. My new favorite thing is to swirl it into plain yogurt.

I watched the Inauguration at Mark's (Professor Applebaum's) house yesterday. It was amazing. In spite of the slightly jumbled swearing in, I thought Obama's speech was spot-on. He said all of the things I was hoping he would say better than I could have imagined, walking the fine line between the issues with poise and strength. I feel proud to be an American (in Paris).

Today is the Louvre visit for my 19th century French painting art history course. We're studying David. I'm excited to see all of the paintings we're discussing in person! After is a trip to Passy Cemetary to see Debussy's grave, and Manet's if we can find it for my contemporary arts history course. Dinner is at Mark's, as he has graciously invited the class over to his beautiful apartment in the 16e (right near me)!

Ok, off to go running in the Bois de Boulogne.
