Yes Aunt Sue, I am updating the blog now.
Hello my fellow humans it is I Connor and i am finally back after having a terrible disease strike me. (My doctor calls it "laziness." Weird.) But, now it is finally time for me to inform you of my French adventures, in full, right now.
BEWARE. INCOMING HUGE MASS OF TEXT.
We left to Paris on the Eurostar straight from King's Cross station. Sadly, I was unable to get a picture at 9 and 3/4, but oh well. We got a bit lost before we finally found our hotel, Le Meridien. It was an AMAZING hotel. Quite fancy. Then we left for our amazing adventure! To start off we had a ride on the good old French subway, until we reached a street where we found an amazing ice cream shop. I got a Chocolat Noir flavor and it was probably the best dark chocolate ice cream i have ever tasted. EVER. And as we licked, we came across the grand and fancy Notre Dame! It was really huge and stuff! YAY! Then we went to the Arc De Triomphe and climbed my worst enemy. STAIRS! OH THE HORROR! The view from the top was amazing and we saw the Eiffel Tower. More on that giant piece of metal later. As we headed down Zach got a souvenir, a little statue of Notre Dame, The Arc De Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. For dinner we had, you won't believe this, MCDONALDS. Yes, in the world of escargot, croque mousier, and every french food on the planet, we choose Mcdonalds? Well, long story short, there are very few good (and relatively cheap) food options near the Eiffel Tower. So, instead of being lazy and taking the elevator, we went the extreme way. Yes. That's right. all of the over 1000 steps inside of the Eiffel Tower. The view was amazing and after we climbed down we got to see the dear tower sparkle. And wait a second. I forgot something. Something you'll be hearing a lot about in the next 3 days. We saw the famous water lily paintings from the painter Claude Monet! And later we got to goin his house in Giverny and see his beautiful garden. But, that topic is for tomorrow. Okay? Alrighty. as usual, there will be pictures under this post, so bye.
I am SOOOOO happy that you updated your blog!!!:D (Me smiling) I look forward to hearing about your trip and seeing the pictures! Great writing...as always!!!
