Tour Eiffel!!!!!!!!
SOOOOO AMAZING!!!! Sadly, I can't put up any more pictures on here because the computer is way to slow but I hope to soon!!! So here in France I had vacation for about two weeks, actually right now is my 2ndweek of vacation and I got to do soo many amazing things! Don't worry I have soooo many pictures, in fact my memory card couldnt hold all of them! The start of my vacation is when I switched back with my first host family, we went to see the caps, which are like cliffs over the ocean and it was just beautiful! It's so amazing how you can look in one direction and see country landscapes and turn your head and see out forever into deep blue water. This past weekend I went to Paris (from Friday night to Monday) sooo great! We did so many things its very hard to remember all of them. The first day we actually walked around in the little streets in Paris and just being in Paris was amazing for me. It was really nice to be with my host family who knew about all the little things that most people never go to in Paris because the little things are not the huge main things that everyone always goes to see. Like we saw all these churches, and
Luxemburg Garden in Paris
tryingto hide the apple in the picture haha. Here i'm with my host mom, host aunt, and my favourite host cousin!! little old streets and beautiful shops and it was very cool. But we did go to huge well known things too because of course I want to see just about everything in Paris so we went to the Luxemburg Garden and wow was it just like in the movies, people playing checkers, fountains, and even chairs that you could just take and put where ever you would like throughout the garden. For me it was extreemly beautiful but it was a little unourtunet that it is not the time of the season yet for all of the flowers, because I can't even imagine how great the garden would be filled with flowers. Later we just kept walking in little streets and seeing soo many thing and late at night we went to the Louvre musemum! I even saw the Mona Lisa! imagine that one!!! It was so beautiful inside and I just loved all the paintings; honestly I could have stayed there for hours and hours but unfourtunelty it was getting late so the museum was closing. The next day we went early in the morning for a walk and guess what I got to go to THE EIFFEL TOUR!!!!!
Honestly I will never ever get sick of seeing that! It is just so amazing and beautiful and it just really reminds me that "hey kid, your in FRANCE!" and so of course I took soo many pictures and I was so lucky because the weather was soo nice it was such a blue sky sunshiny day! just perfect. And I drank cofee in a French cafe for the first time in Paris, actually everything I did in Paris I was like "my first time in Paris!" so even when I ate a banana I was like "look guys my first banana in PARIS" haha. We also went on a boat tour that day! So great, it was a bit long the begining because it was all under neath a bridge for about 20 min and after we had to wait for the boat locks to fill with water to let us pass, but to be able to see all the buildings and the architecture in Paris was wonderful! That night we went to a resturant, and ate so much great food, of course I got chocolate mousse for dessert! yumm. haha We then went walking again in the little
streets and it was just so beautiful! LAter, now I can't even remember which day was what but one of the days we went to see the Eiffel tour at night and I took soo many pictures and my host mom and I even jumped up on this high platform where if you fell off you would probably at least break a leg haah but it was so nice for taking pictures! I just love being in Paris!!!! We also took a boat on the Seine and it was absoulutly wonderful because we got to see all the huge famous monuments and things in Paris! Really, the best! So Paris was just a awesome way to spend some of my vacation time! And for a suprise the day we left Paris my hot family asked if I wanted to go to Versailles!! Of course I was like YESSSS!! so we ended up going and went to see the Chateau of Versailles! It was one of the biggest most beautiful places I have seen. It really was made for a king! Unfourtunetly the Chateau was closed but we still got to go into the garden..in fact I layed on the green
grass under a blue, sunny sky and actually fell asleep! haha. We also walked a lot in the garden and even got to go for a little tour in the place where Marie-Antoinette spent a lot of time. It was just way to huge and beautiful! Really it was like I was walking in well, a castle. So all in all my trip in Paris was just wonderful! Everything about it was great and I am just so very lucky to have such wonderful people to take me to such amazing places, really everyday i'm here I remind myself just how lucky I really am, that I am excatly where I am right now!
P.S i'll be putting up all the pictures soon!!!
