Paris - Part Deux


Day 14-Today we went to do all the Paris stuff we were too lazy to do last time. We went to Notre Dame, an old cathedral that is the most famous for being the setting of a book and a movie. The cathedral is still a working cathedral, so you can only go in certain sections. We went in during a service with popes and other people, and some people were videoing the whole thing! I don’t know what kind of nerve they had, but they wouldn’t like it if someone filmed their sermon! We decided to climb the tower and get a good view. We had to wait in a really long line, but there was this guy dressed up in a troll costume who snuck up on people and scared them with his gruesome looks. Ellery thought: I liked the troll guy, he was funny. The cathedral was nice. Back to moi: we had lots of fun going to the top of the tower and seeing all the cool gargoyles and sights! Their was even a gargoyle eating a chicken, and we could see all the way to Montemarte, Paris’ like only hill-remember? The Luxombourg Gardens, where we went next, was pretty cool. They made me go on this really beat up merry-go-round with split wood and immobile animals. There was one less boring part: they made you catch rings on a peg. Fuuuuuunnn. We were really tired after that, but we had to go to the train station to get to London. We’re almost home!
