The Eiffel Tower

I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!! Today we went to the Eiffel Tower. It was a 35 minute walk, but I did it. When we got there they had all these souvenirs for sale. There were mini eiffel towers, gooby guys, wind up birds that really fly. And SO much more. But the real Eiffel tower was so huge I almost fell over looking at it! But then we saw the line. It was so long we waited in it for an hour and Mom said it would probably take 2 more to get up into the tower. So I just suggested we give up and come back later. Then Elliott had a huge meltdown, so we had to go anyway. On the way back we found a carousel and there was a hot air balloon in it. We rode it and got real dizzy because it spun around. Then we got hungry so we found a cafe and stopped to eat. Mom had a salad. Elliott had pieces of chicken and a plain crepe. I on the otherhand, had a chocolate nutella crepe. It was real good! Then we had to go back. We found a patisserie which is a sweets shop. We went inside and there were so many choices! Mom didn't get anything but Elliott got a fruit popsicle and I got a mini lemon pie (tarte au citron). After that we had to walk the rest of the way home. When we got home we FINALLY, FINALLY figured out the TV so we watched some French shows before Mom and Elliott fell asleep. I think I fell asleep at the kitchen table, but then I got into the bed. After the nap we had to get dinner. we went to a restaurant that had good food. Mom got another salad. I got a ceasar salad, and Elliott got chicken and green beans. I feel like Paris is the exact same thing as our town except people speak a different language, and they have cooler structures and buildings and water parks.

  1. Hooray! You finally saw the Eiffel Tower up close! I actually liked the outside better than the inside, because the outside is where you can really get a sense of it's tremendous size. The apartment sounds cute, and I'm glad Edward and Ashes each have special places!
