Bonjour, Paris

---

Hello!
Well, for the last 10 days, I have been in Paris, enjoying all the baguettes and chocolate eclairs. We went to the Eiffel Tower, 670 steps up, and 670 steps down. 1340 steps altogether. There was an elevater, but it cost money, and the queue was huge. But the view was well worth the long tiring walk up. You could see heaps of things. I could see Sacre Coeur Church, which is not very far away from where I'm staying. The Eiffel Tower was a tiring day for us all.

I've been to a famous church called Notre Dame Church. It is huge, with stained glass windows and lots of statues.

I have been to an arch called Arc De Trimuph. It was made because Napoleon had just won another battle, and he wanted and arch to be built to celebrate his victory.

Well, in Paris there is also the Louvre. The Louvre is the huge art gallery that the Mona Lisa is in. We saw her. She was protected by bullet proof glass, security guards, security cameras and of course, all of the crowd. In the same room as the Mona Lisa, there was The Last Supper. It was a huge painting. We also went to the sculpture room where there were heaps of sculptures. Most of them were headless for some reason. There was one that had a little kid strangling a duck. The Louvre was a really artistic place.

In Paris, there is also a DisneyLand. I went on a ride called Space Mountain, Mission 2. It was a ride in pitch black with corkscrews, loop-the-loops and going straight down vertically. It was so freaky! I also went on a ride called Big Thunder Mountain. You go in a little train cart and you go into pitch black for a little bit. Then you go speeding off onto a train track. It goes up and down and you lean to the side. It was so much fun. I went on so many rides, but none of them topped off Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. As a souvenir, I bought some Minnie Mouse Ears. DisneyLand was great.

Well, bye!
From Maddy.
