I’m a little behind on blogging already–combatting with the WiFi has been a challenge–but it’s really been the only difficulty I’ve faced so far. As frustrating as it can be when I’m trying to blog or work, I have to keep calm and remind myself I’m in Paris, connected with the Internet or not.
Yesterday was the first day of classes at La Sorbonne. We started with an introduction to the course then went to tour La Crypte de Notre Dame, which is located underneath the cathedral. It turns out there are ruins of Lutèce, the ancient city center that would eventually grow and become Paris. There was a forum which served as a market, meeting place, and baths and the ampitheater, known as Les Arènes de Lutèce. The ruins in La Crypte, as well as of Lutèce in general, have been excavated since the mid-19th century and continue to be excavated today.
