We didn't do a whole lot for our last day in Paris. We went to Parc de la Villette because we had heard about it in classes at NDSU. The park has a bunch of various red sculptures that are dispersed around the park in a grid pattern. There was also a large exhibition hall within the park that had some amazingly large trusses. It also had a mirrored sphere that housed an IMAX theater. We sat at the cafe of the exhibition building for a while because it was cold outside and they had free wi-fi. We visited the aquarium in the building because it was free, but it turned out to only be three medium sized fish tanks with only a few fish.
After a while we just decided to head towards the train station that we needed to be at to go home because there wasn't much going on at the park. It started to snow quite a bit which wasn't really fun for walking back through the park. When we got to the train station we decided to go to McDonald's and get coffee because once again it was a warm place and it had free wi-fi.
The train ride back wasn't very entertaining. All I did was listen to my iPod and doodle on some scrap paper. Today has been mostly just a day for resting which has been really nice. Tomorrow we start our week-long international design workshops which will be interesting.
