Sept. 8: Sept. 8: 
Disneyland Paris with Mathilda, Yay! I was so excited I woke up at 4 in the morning and fell back asleep, then I woke up at 7 and fell back asleep. When we got there the first ride we were going to go on was Space Mountain, but the line was so big and we had to get fast passes but they were not available until 10 so then we went to the Mad Hatters Tea Cups in the meantime!!!! Space Mountain was our favourite ride, but Thunder Mountain was a close second. We did lots, and I don't know how to describe it, but I will try my best.
We went on a Nautilus adventure, the Tea cups, the Indiana Jones Adventure, through the Robinson's tree house, on a pirate ship. We waited in a one hour line up just to get on the Pirates of the Caribbean but it was worth the wait. We went to the haunted house two times, that was the really good. We had dinner at the Blue Lagoon Restaurant (the the Pirates of the Caribbean).  We got the biggest lolly pops for dessert, and my mom had to hold both of them for an hour and a half while we waited in another line, that seemed like a two or three hour line, to go on thunder mountain for our last ride of the day. We left right before it closed which was 10 o'clock and got home around 11 o'clock. A long day and I hope I didn't bore you, and I hope Mathilda reads this. Bye!

Sept 6: Versailles
Today we got up early to go to Versailles, we visited all day long, and we did lots of stuff including getting sun burnt. So when we got there we went straight to the palace, which is now a museum. Then we had a picnic lunch where I caught a tomato in my mouth - see the video. Then we went to Marie Antoinette's little village. She is so lucky, I'd like to have a village of my own. Then we biked around and had a snack. For me the best part was the boat ride. I rowed us on the lake to the end and back, which doesn't seem far but it is! Then we got on the subway to head home, stopping for dinner and at the Muse Dorsay to see some Van Goghs and some great pointillism, that was pretty good too cause we didn't stay too long.

Sept 5: Today we were at home doing school work till lunch. At lunch we went to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, and eat lunch up there! We had a really good lunch and I loved the coco bean soup. When we were done we went to the very top. When we came back down we went to Napoleon's tomb, It was so big you could fit my whole family in it well maybe not that big that would be the biggest tomb ever. We did some walking after that but I had blisters on my feet so we were forced to go home. Well I think I am done here, bye!

Sept 4: Today we went on a bus tour and we were on that for a long time and saw half the city including the Eiffle tower. Then when we got off we went for lunch, and I got a really big burger and ice tea. We went and got tickets for an opera at the paris opera house. We went shopping and got on a different bus and went by the Louvre pyramid and we were off for home. Mum Made a great meal at home with a chicken from Brest, it was the first time we ate in so far. cheers!

Sept 3:
Today we went for along walk around town. We were originally going to the Eiffel Tower, we stopped by the Cluny Museum but never made it as far as the tower, we plan to go tomorrow instead. We did some shoe shopping becauseI needed a new pair of shoes for walking, I had outgrown my other ones. I love these one so much more. We went boating at the Jardine du Luxembourg, and then we walked around town. The best stop of all today was sushi. We were so fed up with no sushi for two months that we just had to have some! So I was so happy when we went for sushi!
