a walk in the rain

blehhh...rain and cold all at once? ugh. i can't believe i had to take out my leather gloves (my first non-edible purchase in Paris two months ago) again. so much for being officially spring. pshh...

an update of the architecture walk. the rain took over, making it an awfully unpleasant walk. i had to run home and change before going to my next class.

Institut de France (used to be College des Quatres-Nations) built in the honor of Mazarin
