Today was our second day in Paris, and we had the opportunity to meet Professor Zinder, who taught us how to navigate the transportation system.
One of the most memorable moments was stepping out of the Trocadéro metro station a few steps away from the Eiffel Tower left all of us in awe. Professor Zinder shared the history behind this iconic landmark, and the most interesting fact I learned was that the names of the engineers who built it are actually engraved on the tower.
Later, we walked along the Seine River and stopped at a water station, where we discussed France’s tap water system and their environmental policies.
My favorite part of the day was our group circle, where each classmate introduced themselves and shared their journey into the hospitality industry. Hearing everyone’s stories was inspiring and made me feel more connected to the group.
Before we wrapped up, Professor Abreu gave us an assignment: to visit our group’s designated location and prepare for our tour.
