My favorite pieces of art shown were those by Vincent Van Gogh!]]> 2019-05-23 17:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363022988 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363025708 Artwork by Léonard de Vinci at the Louvre in Paris, France. It was fascinating to learn that Léonard de Vinci did not sign this painting with a written signature. Instead, he incorporated sign language handshapes to represent his initials within the painting. ]]> 2019-05-23 17:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363025708 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363029234 It doesn't get much better than this! One of my favorite moments from my trip to France was the phenomenal view of Paris from the top of the Arc de Triomphe. The view was definitely worth the amount of stairs I had to climb to get there. ]]> 2019-05-23 17:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363029234 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363039210 Exploring the garden behind the Palace of Versailles was incredible! If I ever come back to France, I would go to Versailles again. It was such a beautiful place with so much history. (It also gave me a lot of Taylor Swift vibes lol)]]> 2019-05-23 18:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363039210 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363042833 The food in France was spectacular. I loved going out of my comfort zone to try new dishes, such as the duck pictured here. ]]> 2019-05-23 18:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363042833 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363045369 I am so happy that I got to experience Southern France. It had the same beauty as Paris, but with less chaos.]]> 2019-05-23 18:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363045369 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363046305 After learning so much about Laurent Clerc in ASL 390 and even back in ASL 100, it was so surreal to actually be in his birthplace. ]]> 2019-05-23 18:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363046305 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363053705 I saw so many beautiful churches in France, but Sainte Chapelle was my favorite. Our tour guide told us that there are small pictures within the stained glass that serve to tell the story of the Bible. Amazing!]]> 2019-05-23 18:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363053705 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363057110 After having an Eiffel Tower themed bedroom for the past 4 years, it was a dream come true to see it in person! My absolute favorite part of France was going to the Eiffel Tower. I loved seeing it peak through buildings while walking through Paris, I loved seeing it on the boat tour, I loved seeing it sparkle at night, and I loved going to the very top!]]> 2019-05-23 18:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363057110 nasserelise https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363061172 The Chocolate Museum in Paris was great! You can't go wrong with free chocolate as you walk through a museum. 

In addition, another great memory from the trip was forming friendships! Kyle and I had never talked before the trip and I'm so glad ASL 390F made us closer.]]> 2019-05-23 18:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nasserelise/ASL390F/wish/363061172
