Arc de Triumph

Today we went to the Arc de Triumph and we walked on the the most famous street in in the world! Its called . . . Champs-Elysees. It was soooo long my legs felt like jello when we got done with the street! After the street we went on the Arc de Triumph. It was amazing! We saw everything from the top! And when I was up there I felt so free!

My favorite part was when I got to stand on the bar and see the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre- couer.

The Sacre-couer was really far away but it was on top of a mountain so yo could see it well. We got off of the Arc de Triumph and headed home but while we where heading home right by the Arc de Triumph was a little fire that gleamed in the moon light. There where billions of flowers surrounding it and the wind blew the fire to one side so I thought it was going to set one of the flowers on fire and then that would make a big fire! So I got a little scared! My dad said that after the Arc de Triumph we could go on the Eiffel Tower but we didn't get to. I was really sad! We got home my mom was really happy when we got home! Can you guess why? Eva was screaming like an elephant if he didn't get what he wanted!

The Eiffel Tower at night!

At night it is soo beautiful (But not as beautiful as in the day time!) and its also so calm and peaceful. And all the cafe's are open and couples sit outside the cafe and drink Hot Chocolate and watch the moon. But my favorite part about the night is the Eiffel Tower! At night the Eiffel Tower sparkles and glitters sooo bright. It is beautiful! It starts glittering at 8:00 to 8:05 and 9:00 to 9:05 and 10:00 to 10:05 and 11:00 to 11:05 then it stopes sparkling. But I keep on hoping every day that I will get to be on the Eiffel Tower when it sparkles!

Eiffel Tower


My family and I are in a hotel outside of Paris and my Dad and I needed to go into the city and find an apartment. . . So my Dad and I woke up at 5:30 A.M. and raced off to catch the bus and then the train.


1 hour later...

I can't believe I'm actually here in Paris!!! I'm just so amazed with all of this!

My Dad and I finally arrived and we headed to breakfast. "Would I get to see the Eiffel Tower?" I asked myself, but then I heard a voice. "Hey Jeff, nice to see you, who is this?" I stared at the guy that was right in front of me waiting to see what he would do. He had short brown hair and glasses and he looked like he had a golfers outfit. He had a black collared sweater on. "David, this is Mya, Mya this is David." I keep on staring then I finally came out "Hello David." "Why hello Mya. Would you like to eat breakfast?" I nodded my head. We walked over to our seats and there was a heater! I was happier than ever! Walking on the streets of Paris with fresh, cold, freezing air I was happy that there was a heater. The cafe had a big awning covering us so we wouldn't get wet. The tables were nicely set but they didn't have a tablecloth. The waiter came over to us and asked us what we wanted for breakfast. David said that there was Hot Chocolate and a baguette and lots of other stuff. I absolutely chose two Hot Chocolate and two baguettes they were delicious. The second baguette I ate on the street. I wanted to feel what it was like eating a baguette on the street.

We all followed David to his old apartment. He showed us the very top of the apartment and said you have to climb on the roof but the ladder was gone so we couldn't. It was broken and ripped up, up there. It was so bad I saw millions of pigeons and 2 of the pigeons had baby eggs . We went back to the bottom. David said " Would you like to see the Eiffel Tower?" I looked him straight in the eye. I nodded. David spoke to my dad about the city and the apartments. . . And me I just stood around taking pictures of every thing! The apartments, stores, cafes and restaurants were all stuck together. There were no gaps between the apartments or the cafes and restaurants. It was like I was in a fairy tale.

"Ok Mya, if you look left to the trees then look straight up you will see the Eiffel Tower!" My head kept on bobbling while I walked. It went left and right, left and right. All I could see was the apartments and all that other stuff but then a little point came through one big apartment. I stared at the point for a long time and soon the point got longer and wider and soon it became the very tip top of the Eiffel Tower. I screamed in my head no one could hear me they only could see the front of my face bursting up. I kept staring. "Where's the rest of the Eiffel Tower?" I said to David. Keep walking and you will walk right into it. My heart started pounding really hard and I was about to faint. Was this it? I thought I was dreaming. It was the Eiffel Tower all right. I was amazed. It was so much taller then I ever thought it would be. Wow!
