Paris

About 2 or 3 summers ago I went with my family to France, more specifically PARIS!  It was extremely exciting, and I could not wait to see the city where most girls dream of going.  We drove to the San Francisco airport and flew 1rst class on France airlines.  We actually went to Portugal first but, that's another post.  We had finally arrived after the 13 hour long plane ride, and it was worth it.  The airport wasn't actually in Paris, so we had to drive there.  Once we got there, we unpacked and rested from the long flight.  The next day, we went to the Louvre.  The Louvre is an art gallery, and a famous one at that.  It holds many beautiful sculptures, and paintings, such as the Mona Lisa.  The next day we went to The Eiffel tower, which is way bigger than I expected.  I learned that it gets painted every 7 years and they choose what color to paint it by voting.  The one in the lead right now is hot pink.   We went to a museum that held Neapolitan's dead stuffed horse.  We went to Rodin's  museum which had the Thinker.  This was my favorite place to visit, which is amazing based on the other things we saw.    After the Rodin museum, we went to the Arc de triumph which is way larger than it seems.  It was a workout just to get to the top, on the stairs!  During a full day, we took a tour of  Montmartre.  Here we saw the Moulin Rouge,  Vincent Van Gogh's house, and Sacre Coeur. Another day we visited Notre Dame, a famous catholic church.  The Phantom of the Opera was based on  the Paris Opera House, another attraction we visited.
