After long plane trips that first stopped in New York, we arrived in Paris. We walked to our hotel (
Air BNB - Casa Sophie ) to put our luggage away and walked to Sacre Coure, a church. The church was big and had colorful stained glass. The we walked up the bell tower for an amazing view. Next we went to an awesome bakery (
Le Grenier A Pain) to get good bread. We also got hot chocolate and coffee. Then we went back to the hotel to relax. A little while later the Carodosos came -
Roy, Rosana, Tatiana, and Iliana. Later that evening, we went to Trocadero which has the best view of the Eiffel Tower. After taking lots of pictures there, we went to the Eiffel Tower. Instead of taking the stairs like last time we took the lift. It was a very good view of the city and a lot of fun. Then we went to bed.
The next morning we went to Versailles. Versailles is the castle/palace that the royal family lived in. In Versailles, there are 1500 rooms - we didn't go to all. There were 700 pieces of furniture in the rooms
and a garden. At the start we saw the Queen's chamber which is her thrown. In the other rooms there were pictures of all the people who lived there, all the "louises" kings and queens. For some reason, everyone looked the same...same hair, same face, and same clothes. Also in Versailles, there was a Hall of Mirrors. After the indoor part, we ate sandwiches. Then we walked toward the Queen's home, I guess. There wasn't much inside, but it was still fun. Then we took a drive thing/train back to the palace. We walked around the small town and then took a train back to the hotel.
My dad and Ania were going out that night, so I was with the Cardosos. The first thing we did was eat dinner and then went to the Arc de Triumph, and finally we went to a place famous for macaroons. We ate macaroons and drank tea. Then we went back to the hotel and went to bed.
The next morning, the Cardosos went to Sacre Coure and we stayed home in the morning. At around 12, we went to lunch with the Cardosos, and my dad's
friend Ariel and his daughter, Isabel. After the lunch, we went to the best ice cream place in the world!
(Berthillon) I got 2 sorbets - rasberry and mango. Then we tried to to go to Notre Dame...by try I mean we stood in line to go to the bell tower but couldn't go.... back luck, huh? Speaking of bad luck, after that we tried to go to the catacombs and we had to stand in line. We had to get in before 7pm for the last tour but we did not make it.
After getting denied by the catacombs, me and my dad went to the PSG soccer game. PSG is the best soccer team in France. The game was very good. PSG played Monaco. PSG started very well, bu in the second half Monaco scored 2 goals (1 penalty) and PSG lost. But at least it was a lot of fun and we sat very close to the field. After the game, we got a taxi, went home and went to sleep.
The next morning we all went to the Louvre. The Louvre is an art museum...a famous and huge art musuem.
Ania, my dad, and I were going to compete against the cardosos to find paintings and things in the paintings, and more (
www.thatlou.com ). To make it even, we got Isabel on our team. During the scavenger hunt, we saw the Mona Lisa, the Wrath of Medusa, and more. Some sculptures we saw were the Dying Slave, The Venus di Milo and more. Each member of the team had positions. My dad had the map and questions and Ania, Isabel and I were the spotters. At the end, we met up to count our scores. The final scores pointed out that.....our team won!
After that we went out to eat and Ania went shopping. At Cafe Luis, me and my dad shared Ratatouille and pasta. It was good. Then we started walking around. Ariel took us to a tea place to buy tea. After that we went to a great chocolate place to buy chocolate. Next we went to a park. It was really nice. Then we went back to the hotel.
Since my dad and Ania went out one night, so did Rosanna and Roy. So my dad, Ania, Tatiana, Iliana and I
went to a fondue place. We got meat and cheese. We dipped bread in the cheese and cooked the meat in oil. We drank out of baby bottles for some reason. It was very fun and then we went back to the hotel.
