StoneHenge

I read about stone henge today I read about how nobody really knows why they hauled giant stones for miles to this certain sight. Some stones go 20 feet in the air some are small and lie on the grass. They did discover though to miles away from the stone henge was a town in ruins. They say right next to the town they found a wooden circle. It says that the two circles were to repersent the living and the dead. Also in the wooden circle they found bones of barbecued pig and cow. There so they think the people might have gathered there for feasts. They also think the circle was wear they had like a country fair wear people would meet, trade and, biuld stone henge. They think when someone died they would put there bodys in the river and transport them to the stone henge for burial. Isn't that wierd. Well that is what I read about stone henge today.

Conservation

Today I read about conservation.  I read about how people have been cutting down trees and using a lot of water each day.  It also told about how everyday we throw away about three and a half pounds of trash.  When I first read this I thought thats not to bad.  Then I found out that each year we through away enough trash to fill up up a foot ball field one hundred miles deep.  That much garbage could fill up enough garbage trucks to reach half way to the moon.  Yeah now you know what i'm talking about.  Including the water you drink you use about 100 gallons of water each day.  That is what I read about today.  Thank you thank you very much.

Last Day In Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we went to a lot of different places we went to a church a mueseum and quite a lot of other places. We woke up pretty late. We were all very excited because today was suveneer day. We all got dressed and ready and were on our way. First we fowned a ATM then we went to the METRO. When we got to the metro we all got tickets and went to the metro. The metro took us about 10 min. When we got off we were right in front of a huge church called Sacre coeur. We decided we wanted to go to the top of the hill the church was standing on. When we got to the top it was a beautiful view. Soon we had to move on with the day. When we got down the hill we went to the metro for the second time. This time the train ride was at least 15 min long. When we got off this metro we were all hungry. So we decided to go find somthing to eat. Soon after we started walking again we found a sandwich store. we all got sandsiches and went to the Sein river to eat them. When we found a shady spot we all sat down and ate our sandwiches. When we finished we all had left overs so we spared a couple minutes to feed the birds. After we fed the birds we started heading to the Holocaust mueseum. When we got their we went through security. Then we went in the mueseum. When we first got in it showed all the french people who died in the consentraition camps. Then we went inside and saw movies and pictures about the consentraition camps. It was very sad. When we left on the way out daddy slammed the door on his hand on accident ouch! After this it was suveneer time. On the way to the suveneers we stopped at a park for a little it had benches and even those wobbly things you sit on. After this we started shopping. We looked at a lot of stores. Finally we went into a store with lots of bags. I decided to get a bag. I got a bag with lots of colors. I loved it so much. You know what I meen. (tempting) After I got my suveneer. My sister and brother got a portret of their selves. They were beautiful. After we all got our suveneers we went back to the apartment and got dinner. Then we went to bed what a great last day in Paris!!!

PALACE PLACE AND SPURTING FOUNTAINS

Today was a rather wierd day but fun. We were going to versailles. We woke up rather early and started our way to the metro. When we got to the metro we found our train and soon after we got on to this we were off but of course we still had to take the hour ride to versailles. When we got off the hour long one we started our way to the PALACE. When we finally found the palace we had to stand in a really long line. A long time after this though we were in the palace. This is where our adventure really begins. So as I was saying we were soon in the palace. When we were in here we went up some stairs in to a long hallway of heads. When we got through this we were in a room with lots of pictures hanging on the wall. When we got through this we saw a beautiful hallway of shandeleers and mirrors. It was called the hall of mirrors. It had lots of mirrors on the sides of the room. After this we went into the kings bedroom. The bed was gigantic. It was like a normal bed with a canapie over it. After we saw this we went into a room with lots of pictures in it. It was of some kind of war. It had hoarses and peaple and even doctors. After this we went into the queens bedroom. It was exactly like the kings bedroom but pink. Soon after this we were out of the palace. After this we went to the gardens we had to stand in another long line here to get tickets but after this we were in the beautiful gardens. When we got in the gardens we went straight to food we all got big sandwiches for lunch. After we ate those we got icecream to. After we got icecream we went to to a lake to just relax. Then caboom water came spurting out of all the fountains. So we decided to go look at all the fountains. We saw big ones little ones high ones and low one. It was so beautiful. Their was even music playing. After we saw all the fountains we decided to start heading twards the fainale. We had to go all the way up to the palace again but it was worth it. We saw water spurting up so high it's not even funny. Soon we had to start heading back to the apartment. On the way back to the metro we stopped to eat and use the restroom. Then we took the long ride back home. We all ate when we got home and went to bed. What a great day.

BONES EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWW

Today was a exciting day we went to a big mueseum and a tunnel with bones. We woke up at about 11:00 and left the house at about 11:30. Then we started going to the mueseum. When we got to the mueseum we looked at a lot of different kinds of art like animals and seenery. Then we went to upstairs and, thats wear I saw a beautifull painting it was called the The Woman and the umbrella. It was a picture of a woman holding a umbrella on the beach. She kind of looked like she was walking away from someone she just got in a fight with she even had a scowly face expression. She also was wearing a very beautifull dress to. When I saw the picture it looked like she was looking away from me. How wierd is that!!! Soon after we saw this painting we had to leave. We still had a great day a head of us still. After we left we got on the Metro and started heading to the BONE TUNNEL DADADADA. When we got off the Metro we were right in front of the tunnel. After we stood in the line for a little we were in the tunnel. We walked through the tunnel for a little but no bones we kept walking even more but no bones. Then we turned nthe corner and their were piles and piles of NOTHING. So we kept walking till finally we came to to a..........................mmiilliioonnss of nothing but bones I should have known.

The Mona Lisa

Today was a exciting day!!! We got to go see the Mona Lisa. We woke up at about 12:00 PM. Then we all got ready for the big day. When we got to the Louve wear the Mona Lisa was we started out by looking at all these sculptures and paintings. Then we all got really hot wich turned into desperate hunger. Obviously we all had to start begging for food and that was a good thing cause after a while we were sitting at a table with food in front of us. After we all were full we started heading over to the Mona Lisa. We started out by going through a hallway with dragons. Then we went up a long stair case. When we got up the stairs we went to the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa was a lot smaller than you would think. Did you know that the girl in the Mona lisa does not have eyebrows. This is because women back then used to pluck all of their eyebrows. Also her real name is not Mona Lisa it is really Lisa Gherardini. When I first went in the room wear the Mona Lisa is it looked like she was looking right directly at me. The colors on the painting were very dull but I read about it and, the book said when divinchi first made the Mona Lisa it was a lot more colorfull and over the years it got less and less colorfull. Soon we had to go so we quickly started heading out. When we got out we all decided ice cream sounded delicious. So we went to the first place we saw. The ice cream line was gigantic and geus what we had to start at the very back of it. After we all got our ice cream we found a nice case of stairs to sit on. Then we all gobbled up our ice cream and were energetic again. So we went to a place to play. We went to to a thing that looked like a head and a hand made out of meadel. We all obviously wanted to play on it so thats what we did. After we played on it for a while we started our way home. When we got back to the apartment me my sister and my brother went to the grocery store. We picked out some corn, pizza, and Pinapple juice. Then we went to the bakery and I ordered two choclate croissant's. Then we went back to the apartment and made dinner. Then we all ate and went bed. I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

Glowing Glass

Today was an exciting day. We were going to visit the Sainte Chapelle. When we got to Sainte Chapelle we had to stand in a long line. I really wanted to take a picture of the long line but, I couldn't because it was to crouded. When we finally got in we went through a little court yard and inside the big church. First we saw a small room with a gift shop, whith a a little bit of stained glass that was still very beautifull. Then we went up a case of swirly stairs and saw...a big room with stained glass everywear. Everywear you looked their was glowing glass. You could not find one . of dullness. We took so many pictures it wasn't even funny. I have to say it was one of the most beautifullest thing I had ever seen. When we finally had to leave we all used the rest room and, started heading to the book store. On our way there I took a lot of pictures of the display windows. I took pictures of a puppet store and, a cow store a magic museam and, even a wine store. When we finally got to the book store we all got to pick out one book. I picked out the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Oh and, I almost forgot we also got ice cream I also have some pictures of that. After we went to the book store we started to head home. Right when we got there Amelia and I wentto the bakery we got stick candy. Then we started to head in when we noticed we were locked out of the main hallway so Gabe came down and, opened up the door for us. When we got up we noticed that the door was locked. So we called the person who owned the apartment but guess what no awnser. So we tried picking the door but, it didn't work. So our dad had to climb onto our room and, into the window. Then we all went inside. After a while we all got hungry and, us kids went to the grocery store. Then we all ate and went to bed. Life is a lot cooler then what you think isn't it?!

Sewer Tour

Today was a big day. Our dad was taking us to a Sewer Tour. When we finally got there we asked if it smelled bad. He said it should only smell a little. After this we went down two cases of stairs and that's when the smell came. Well it wasn't to bad till we got to a big river of sewer water. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever. It smelled a skunk had just sprayed the whole room. Then we kept walking on hoping find another room that didn't smell so bad. Thats when we saw a green room. We went in the room and used the restroom{Lol} and watched some sewer videos. We got lost in the sewer after we left the green room. Finally we found the exit and were refeshed by the clean air outside. We were disgusted by the river since thats where the waste water goes when the sewer floods. What an interesting day.

THE DAY OF ART

Today we woke up at 12:00 in the morning. Mom and Dad said we could choose what to do that day. Right away we chose monet's garden but mom and dad said it was to late for that. So instead we decided to go to the Pompidu art mueseum. After we all took baths we started are walk to the art mueseum. On are way we walked and talked. When we finally arrived we had a little trouble getting in but after a little while we found our way in. When we got in we saw a huge piece of art shaped like a spider. Soon we reallized that most of the art was up stairs so we went up a bunch of escalators to get upstairs. When we were finally upstairs we saw a restraunt and a long hall. Not long after that we found out we needed tickets to see the art on the top floor.
