School Trip

In a comic strip, Jordan reflects on the cultural differences between New York and France. He observes that in New York, everything is done quickly—people walk faster and eat faster. However, in France, people seem to savor their mealtimes and value their time.

Alexandra wakes up to find Ashley holding a sock puppet to her face, offering it as a gesture of friendship. Ashley then compliments Samira on her hair and tells her she touched it while she slept. Later, the group strolls along the Pont des Arts, and Maury explains the tradition of couples putting locks on the fence as a symbol of their love. Ashley pulls out a lock with the initials A and D on it. The group continues to the Eiffel Tower, where they take some photos. They then arrive at the Arc de Triomphe. Maury explains that the arc was constructed to honor those who fought for France during the Napoleonic Wars. The group decides to eat at a restaurant, where Andy expresses disgust at Maury ordering frog legs. Sticking to what he likes, Andy opts for a hot dog. Once again, the teachers’ credit card fails to work, leaving Maury to cover the bill.
