Field Trip 1

Today (Wednesday) was our first 'field trip'. I have a feeling these 'field trips' we go on for 'class credit' aren't really going to be much related to class material at all.
We saw a 3 story tall mechanical elephant; which is practically useless. Mark (Dr Reuber) explained that the French don't always have reasons for doing the things they do. They like to do things in a grand way just so they can step back and say, "Check it out." Which is why they build crazy things, even though they look cool.
We then went to the Jules Verne museum. He grew up in Nantes and was actually born on the island in the middle of the Loire river.
