Typical Day in Dijon

Not much is going on besides exploring the city so here are some pictures of the area I am living in and what I have been up to:

Our first group dinner I had boeuf bourguignon and it was amazing.

Place Darcy: there are flags lining the street (along with shops) and at the end is the Arc de Triomphe.

The second group dinner I had escargot for an entré. It was also very good.

Parc Darcy is a nice little place I walked around.

The back of Notre Dame; the front is a little creepy with all of the gargoyles.

A building that seems to be a typical design for the Bourgogne region.

These petites chouettes (owls) lead all over Dijon to different popular locations/plazas.

Place de la Liberté has a lot of restaurants, but it is hot during the day because there is no shade.

A typical tile roof for the Bourgogne region.

A plaza just down the street from me that has some good restaurants.

We walk around every day for a few hours or more just to find new, exciting places. People say Dijon is a smaller town, but there is so much to see and find. Dijon has a lot to offer, and I am enjoying each day taking in the new sites I find. I think I might like Dijon more than Paris because there is a lot here, but it is not overwhelming like Paris can be sometimes, and there are not nearly as many tourists. Although, today Lizeth (my "roommate") and I did laundry, and another American woman walked in and was so excited to hear us speaking English, so she asked about the laundry machines and where some good restaurants are. We were excited because that seemed to take us one step away from being called tourists since we gave some information and could show her on the map where things were! That is it for now; until next time!
