Paris trip-C@dence

Last spring break our family went to Paris, France. I loved it Mammaw came too. There were  many great things there, like the Eiffel tower, aquarium, and Sacre cour.

WHERE WE STAYED:
We stayed in a rental apartment with a glass door and big windows up front. Once you walk in to your right there is a couch and a TV table without a TV and a desk. If you keep walking forward, to your right will be a tiny little kitchen. If you back up a little bit there will be a table to your left. If you keep walking forward about 5 feet, there will be a spiral stair case in front of you that does not have any railing and the ground is as hard as cement. Halfway up the stair case there is a landing with 2 beds and curtains around the beds. All the way up the stairs to your there is a wall and to your right there is a bathroom with  bath-shower without a curtain in it and the walls are covered in gold foil and blue Christmas lights. If you keep walking forward there is a wall on  your right a bedroom in front of you and a bedroom to your left that my parents and the boys slept in, on the landings, Mammaw, me, Campbell, and Layla all slept. If you walked out the front door, you would be on a thin sidewalk next to a really busy road. Next to our place was a liquor store and across the street from us there was a hotel and next to the hotel was a bakery and all the time we would just go there to get food and 1 time I even asked if they had any cupcakes, which they didn't.

MY FAVORITE PLACE:
I don't really have a favorite place there, because they were all awesome we went to the Eiffel tower, on a river cruise, to sacrecour, the aquarium, the palace of Versailles, the Louvre, arc de triumph, the opera house, and the Notre Dame, but one of my favorites was going to Disneyland Paris. Some of my favorite rides were, haunted mansion, thunder mountain, ratatouille, and the RC racer.

HOW DID WE GET AROUND?
In France, there are things like subways, but they are called metros, you have 30 seconds to get on and off and then it will take you where you need to go on the subway, that is, if you are on the right one. Navigating the subways was my favorite. We also walked a lot and used a couple trains.


WHAT WAS PARIS LIKE?
The streets  in Paris were usually pretty dirty, but they had some people to clean it up. There were a lot of poor families just sitting out in the cold asking for money or food. there were also a lot of restaurants, and stores ad people. The people in Paris were really nice. On our way from the airport to the apartment (which we called the meat locker because it was once a meatery) we had to go up and down a bunch of stairs with 2 big suitcases, 1 big bag, and a stroller, and a lot of people just stepped in and helped us with the stairs,  gave us our stuff back and then just walked away like it was nothing, we also got a lot of compliments on our family. Ezra even made a friend at the playground behind Notre Dame named Milo.
