One thing that has resulted from my being here in Paris for four months is that I 
have learned to appreciate art. Today I had some free time, so I took a stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens (near my school) and went to the Musée du Luxembourg. They are having a special exhibit of Arcimboldo's work. This guy was crazy! It was amazing to see so many of his paintings in one place, as there are not many remaining, since he painted in the 1500s. On a related note about art, I went to an art auction on Wednesday and saw some amazing paintings there as well. Unfortunatley, I didn't have the 48,000 euros on me to buy the painting I wanted. Maybe next time. For now, here are some Arcimboldo paintings to enjoy.
