Dec. 18: Hello. Today we were driving to Stuttgart in Germany. When we first got there we were going to have lunch but, couldn't find the place so we ate at the christmas market. Then we went to the Landesmuseum. I didn't mind the museum but we have been to a lot of museums on our travels. Then I got room survive while mum and dad went out to watch Romeo and Juliet, in a ballet. When they were gone I watched three movies. They were free anyways so I thought why not watch them. Now it is 11:00 so good night!

Dec. 17: Today we started off by going for breakfast at nice little place were I had a pan-o-chocalat, and hot milk that I burnt my toung on. Then we went to the Rohane Palace which has 3 museums (Roman history, art and decorative arts). I didn't mind the Roman museum but it was the last Roman museum in a long time because Strasbourg is on the Rhine river and that was the farthest the Roman empire expanded and we are going north to German tomorrow. At the Musee des Arts Decoratifs we saw where Marie Antoinette stayed a night on her way to getting married to Louis the 16th. Before lunch we visited the Cathedral and I lit a candle. For lunch we went to a small place, and it seemed like it was from Snow White And The Seven Hobbits. Then we came home to do some homework.  See you latter then, bye.

Dec. 16: Today we came from Besancon to Strasbourg (the capitol of christmas in France). We stopped on the way for a break at Ronchamp. Dad was inspired by the designer and we did a guided tour of the chapel by Le Corbusier. We went to church in the monastery there with a bunch of nuns. After a while we were back on the road to Strasbourg. In Strasbourg there was a christmas market, so we went to that for lunch. For dinner we went to a restaurant that we all enjoyed very much. Now we are at home in relaxation mode. Have a nice day!

Dec. 15:
Besancon was a Roman city, what do you know. We climbed to the top of the city which was surrouned by a wall and called a citadelle. In the citadelle there was a zoo, a museum of WW2, and a museum of culture.  I loved the zoo, and I made friends with a tiger. For lunch we went to the christmas market down in the city. After lunch we went to the Museum Of Clocks. Then me and mum went home to do homework. After dinner we went back to the christmas market for a waffle. Now we are home getting warm and tired. MARRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERY ONE!

Dec. 14: Today we drove to Besancon which is another Roman town but more on that tomorrow. When we got there I was so car sick. I stayed in our hotel while mum and, dad went for a walk around the small town to a Christmas market. When they came back I finished some homework, then went for dinner. For dinner we went to a recomended place that had really good food. Now we are home saying good bye and good night.
