Testing

I'm just going to test something out here. I haven't been writing for a while, and that last post was to be much shorter, but since I haven't written in a while, it more or less exploded forth. I'm going to try and get in the habit of posting regularly, like I said I was going to before I even left.
Thomas and I go to the park about eight o'clock everyday (since Monday) to take Utah (the dog, and in French it's said oo-tah) for a walk. It's not a park so much as a path with obstacles, like bars to climb, and things for sit-ups, and a balance beam, things like that. We usually race through it, almost tying every time, and then we "faire du combat" on the balance beam, and we usually tie at that too. It's fun.
Saturday night we went up the Eiffel Tower. On foot. Yes, we went up (and down) the entire way by stairs. I got a lot of pictures that I'll try to post today. It was really amazing, Though Paris without the Eiffel Tower (because you can't see it from the tower!) is oddly odd. There was an uncomfortable amount of couples making out. There was one American couple (with some friends) who were on the honeymoon and doing a little video about it.
Yesterday I went to the Louvre. It blew my mind. My mind was blown. And then I went into the second courtyard, and experienced a similar feeling. This is all before actually going in. I must've been inside for about three hours, which wasn't nearly enough, but I had to be home by about seven. It's free for people under 25, courtesy of Nicolas Sarkozy, and pictures are allowed (except for the exhibit on the Chinese drawings, or the drawings based on a Chinese poem). I've never been a big fan of the Mona Lisa, it never held much appeal for me, so I wasn't too disappointed to find that it's behind a protection of glass, and you can't get within ten feet of it, and there was a constant group of people around it. Anyways, I'll do details of the adventure in the captions of the pictures...which I will also try to post today.
I don't think I really have anything else to report. Hopefully I kept this short enough. Oh, yes, I learned something in my English class: 'Fun' is only an adjective in informal speech, it's really a noun, that's why you say "more fun" instead of "funner" even though, following the rules of adjectives, it should be the second way.
Well, hopefully I'll post again before too long. Don't be afraid to comment.
