Reims

I have been here more than fifteen days now, and I must say that the city is gorgeous. The cathedral is an awe-inspiring triumph of man. And there is an entire section of the city, roughly equivalent to our suburbia, that is made of old style brick & mortar houses (I would love to live in one).

The bus system here works fairly well (€1.00 per trip), so I've been exploring a fair bit. It's a little harder to do now, as I am in French language class, which is likely going to be my most difficult subject.

The food is delectable. I found a little restaurant near the cathedral that serves hot chocolate, and it will likely be the subject of at least one post from this point on (pictures will be happening). But for the most part, since I am on a poor college student budget (read: €0.00 per-diem).

I will not let that deter me, however. I have, in the recent days, discovered a few methods of living on about a euro per day, as far as food is concerned. So, we'll see just how far I can stretch to afford some of the delicacies.
