Up! Up! Up! Up!

Sorry I haven't written in so long, but we haven't been able to get internet. Now I'm going to tell you where we are. We are camping in the mountains in France!!!! We brought our tent and we got a big rental car with foldup seats, so every breakfast lunch and dinner we can eat in it. We just use the tent for sleeping. Our camping site has lots of facilities too, like bathrooms, showers, places to wash dishes and do laundry, brushing your teeth. There is even an internet room in which I am writing to you right now. Today we drove to an opening in the mountains and we hiked right in. We hiked for a long time and on the way we saw an opening where there was absolutely no shade at all. We saw a giant waterfall and lots of boulders on the river which I climbed on a lot. Then we ate some sweet bread, had some water, and moved on. Then we just aimed up, up, up... Finally Mom said we had to start going back down even though I wanted to keep going.

AGAIN!!???!!!???

Today I only want to tell you about one thing that happened. We went to an aquarium where you could pet fish and when Elliott tried to pet one, he just fell right in head first. I couldn't believe how the fish just got out of the way. They made an Elliott shape hole for him to fall right in. We dried his clothes off in the bathroom with the hand dryers. Then we left.

Dad is here!

Yesterday Dad finally got off the plane and came to our apartment. He didn't come until really late in the morning, so the house was filled with quiet anticipation. We watched from our balcony outside to see when he would cross the crosswalk. I thought he did once, but it wasn't him. When we got here, we were barefoot at the elevator waiting for him and when he got out we just tackled him! When he got in the apartment and put his bags down we tackled him some more until he said that it was enough. Then Dad changed his clothes and we showed him around the town. We went to my favorite patisserie to get of course another lemon pie and a baguette. Then we went to a close playground, the river and showed him the Eiffel Tower.
Today we went to an inside-out building with all the pipes, air-conditioners, and elevators outside, but the inside was a museum. The first exhibit was called DreamLand. I don't know why because it was just sculptures of strange things but it sure was fun..ee!!!! There was even a lips couch! When we got out of DreamLand, Dad said we should go have lunch at a special restaurant that his friend reccomended. It was a Falafel filled with yummy stuff--completely vegetarian I should note. I didn't eat all of it but I ate most of it. Elliott dropped a piece of his Falafel and the pigeons just attacked it. They even attacked each other to get to it. There was one that had a limp leg that was all curled up and it only put the top of its toes on the ground. I even saw a pigeon with a stump leg (a pirate pigeon)!!! Then we went back to the inside-out building to look at more art. It started raining just before we went in, and when we got out, it was still raining a bit, but by the time we got home on the subway it stopped. Ok, I'm done, bye bye, make some comments.
