Arrividerci Rome, Bonjour Paris!

My sisters got us messed up with the time-- they forgot to put the clock ahead and we thought it was an hour earlier than it was. It was still ok though. We got on our tour bus. We took more pictures of a place with a bunch of statues, the steps of Plazza Venizia, the tomb of the unknown soldier.

We went back to Ancient Rome and took pictures of the Roman Forum. We took the bus to the Spanish Steps. The sisters got us lost again on the way there. We finally got there and took pictures. They were really nice and big and they had statues and flowers on them. It was really busy there-- lots of people. We walked up lots of stairs all the way to the top. Then we headed back to the train station, but Jackie got us there way too early. I thought it looked like Harry Potter but my sisters said it was filmed in Scotland and England. We had a nice train and our room had three bunk beds. We chatted and had some snacks on the train. When we woke up the next morning, we were in Paris. We went through Switzerland, but we were sleeping.

On our first day in Paris, it took us a while to find our hostel because the subway in Paris isn't as good as the underground in London, England. We went on the Bateaux Mouche, a boat tour on the Seine River in Paris. From the boat we saw Notre Dame church, the Eiffel Tower, other pretty churches and houses, some buses, and I think that's all. I'll take more pictures tomorrow and try to add them to my blog. We haven't been able to find a place where I can upload my pictures yet.

Tomorrow I think we'll go up the Eiffel Tower. It will be fun. We want to have a picnic by the Eiffel Tower if it's nice. And I want to go shopping too. And that's all.

Bonjour Val! You and "the sisters" as you call them are seeing lots of wonderful things! Can't wait to see your pictures. Shopping too? I wonder what you bought? I have been thinking about you today and wondering how you liked the Eiffel Tower. Did you go all the way to the top? I have never slept on a train...that must be fun! I will be looking for your next blog...all about Paris. There is a song "April in Paris....can you hear me singing it? Ha! Ha! Remember that you and Papa are supposed to go to Paris someday! Have fun!
