Part 2
We didn't go to EuroDisney. It was to late. Yeah, I know. THEY PUT IT OFF FOR ONE MORE WEEK. So instead, we went to the Eiffel tower. I know I have been spelling his name wrong until now.
Anyways, we went to the very tip top of the Tour Eiffel! We climbed our way up (not on the beams, on the stairs) to the almost-top, but then we had to take an elevator to the very very very top.
It was sooooo cool from up there! I had so much fun! Paris was built in a circle. And in the middle of it, is the Tour Eiffel!
Today I learned some interesting facts. Some people want to take the Eiffel Tower down! Originally it was only supposed to last about 20 years for the world fair in 1889. But then they didn't take it down! It's become a great tourrist atttracrion and some a "wonder of the world".
When we walked home, we got in some trouble. WE were walking along ghe saine, and were about to come to somewhat of a freeway when out of a parked car comes a POLICE MAN (a french one too!)!!! He jabbled something in French while he adusted his pants.(That was not a pretty sight).
It turns out, we are not supposed to walk along this part of the saine.Then we had to walk ALL the way back (which was quite a long way mind you).
We walked and took the metro to Bastille, where there was a magnifique monument to all the poor people who had their heads cut off there. Speaking of which, I think my feet are going to fall off since we've done so much walking. I'm having a great time!
TTFN- Sophie! luv 2 u all

Hi Sophie! Thanks for telling us all about paris. It sounds great and I hope you get to Euro Disney, though I'm probably one of those people who would tell you to go to a museum instead! Or just go sit in a cafe. . . but you should do what YOU want and if it's Euro Disney, well . . . anyway, I am looking forward to hearing more about you and about paris.
