Sept 17: I was just about to go to bed when I had to blog.  What did I do today? Today me and dad went to the laundry mat and then went to look to see if there were any musicians on the bridge near our house. There were none so we went to pick up the laundry after having ice-cream. Then joined by mummy who was just at the hamam, we went for lunch near by at an Alsatian place and off to see the city sites.  Palais Royal had lots of shops and we did a little window shopping. I had a frappachino and when I asked for extra caramel they put EXTRA caramel.  Stopped at Place Vendom and Touleries and a ballet store. Picked up a paintbrush and some groceries. I made some soup which I thought was very good if I do say so myself.

Sept. 16: Today I woke up at Mathilda's house and we went swimming with one of her friends, Clemence. We went to a pool with lots of water slides! I had so much fun, I was sad to leave. When I met my mom we took a quick look at some famous thing that looks like a toothpick (Place de la Concorde Obelisque). While I was swimming my dad was at a roller blading thing with thousands of people led by a police motorcade. When we all got home we went for dinner at a Moroccan restaurant L'Atlas. I thought it was really good, again good Moroccan food - who knew. Bye.

Sept.15: Today we didn't do much but non the less I must keep this up. Today we were going to get a crape for breakfast but nothing was open and so we went to a cute cafe and had eggs. It was good. Then we went off to fined out more about the Seine boat tours. It turns out that they only sell tickets half an hour before the boat comes. So we went home to wait and do homework. When the time came we set off to fined our destiny, in other words a boat tour. We got there, got our tickets and, after what felt like forever we got on the boat. After the boat tour, on our way home, we saw someone walking their cat. It was a really cute cat too. At home I started typing the blog earlier than usual because I am going out for dinner with my folks to meet up with my friend Mathilda and her family, then I will stay over at their house for the night. I am very exited! TTYL\type to you latter.

Sept. 14: Today we got up early, I wasn't happy about that but we made it to Reims for a day trip. We first went to the Notre Dame Cathedral which was very big and had lots of stained glass. After that we went to two champagne wineries which had to be really cold in the caves so I was frozen, but I am alive now. We went shopping and we finally found some paints so I can start doing some acrylic paintings. Before going home my mom and I went on a carrousel ride. Now we are home and I am so glad of that. Good night. Oh I almost forgot, we went on a train that went 200 km an hour.

Sept. 13: Today we first went to the Natural History Museum at Le Jardine Des Plantes, then we went to a botanical garden and saw some animals at the zoo! It was nice to see some animals, I miss Coco and Delta. We had a Moroccan lunch nearby, a really good place with cute birds flying around and eating our couscous. I thought it was a great meal, even though I thought I would not like Monacan food, turns out I do. After the zoo we walked back near home and went to a concert at Sainte-Chapelle. The chapel has some amazing stained glass windows, the walls are all practically the stained glass, it was beautiful. The Soloistes Francais performed the Pachelbel Canon, which is one of my favourite pieces. Now we are at home eating or blogging. Tomorrow we are going on a day trip to Champagne. Good night see you soon!

 

Sept. 12: Well today I woke up late and we were out the door at around 1:30 so we didn't have all day. We started our day by going to the L'orangerie, to see Monet's lily's. I love the paintings of lily's. Well after that we went to the Louvre and saw a lot on Egypt and we also saw the Moana Liza, I have seen it before and both times it has been really busy. Now we have seen all we could fit for the day and my mum wasn't feeling the best so we went home. We did a little shopping and in the Louvre before we went home we had some snacks for dinner and a small pizza cut into squares. We are getting pretty good at taking the metro trains around Paris. Well good night all who read. P.S There is a small shopping mall in the Louvre, cool!

Tuesday Sept 11: Today we were going to the Louvre but it is closed on tuesday. After that small mishap we were off again but dad was really hungry so we went for lunch. I had a hamburger that was really big. We decided to go to the Sacre-Coeur. After that we went to the crypt that once held Roman bathes, near the Notre Dame. In the evening, I was so excited to go to the opera but if was not great, not great at all.
