Paris

So I have been in Paris for almost a week now and it still seems really
amazing and busy.

Day 1: We got here on a TGV from Beaune,and got our bikes to the
apartment. That was most of the day, as the train ride was 3:00 hours.

Day 2: Today we went to the Notre Dame! I liked it for it's
architecture but not for it's holyness. It was so crowded and noisy that
it didn't seem holy. It must have been so hard to build without modern
technology. The metro was really busy and half the time you had about 1ft
by 1ft of space.

Day 3: Today we got up at 7:30 and went to the Orsay and saw some art
work by the Impressionists. I liked Starry Night best. Then we looked at
the outside of the Louvre. Then we took the metro to the Arch de Triumphe.

Day 4: Today we just sort of hung for the morning and then in the
afternoon we took the metro to Saint Denis and saw a church with a bunch
of dead royals.

Day 5: Today I went up the Eiffel Tower during the golden lighting
(which is when 21,000 lightbulbs make the Eiffel Tower loook like it is
made of gold.) I have wanted to climb it all of my life and I can't
believe I got to do it. It is almost 1000 ft tall. Everything looked so
small from the top!

Day 6: Today we went to a little fair type thing and I got to ride a
Segway! They are totally amazing!

Thats it for now folks!
