This weekend we went Paris. To me it was dirty and smelly with homeless men laying on the streets. On the Metro (underground bus thing) people would sing or play muscical instruments for money. Some of them were really good. We went to the Rodin Museum where we saw "The Thinker". He was really cool. We also went to Montmarte where we climbed a HUGE hill. On the top of the HUGE hill there was a church that we went in. A mass was going on so we couldn't look or walk around much. All of the sudden the Eiffel Tower in the distance started blinking like crazy. It was amazing. The next day we went to the the world famous Louvre Museum where we saw The MonaLisa. You would think the painting would be bigger but it was kind of small. We also saw Winged Victory whick was really, really big. Venus De Milo (the goddess of love). Then we walked along the Seine River to Saint Chapelle. Saint Chappelle had beautiful stained glass windows that everyone was taking pictures of. We also went to Notre Dame - a huge church with T.V.s because you can't see the alter from so far away. You may also know Notre Dame from the Disney movie ( The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
The next day was my birthday and we went to the Eiffel Tower and took an elevator all the way to the top. It was really cold and there were huge lines. Everyone tried to push pass us just because we were little kids waiting in line. On the first elevator up I could barely breath from being smushed so much. When we finally got up there we could see people playing soccer and little kids on the playground. In the gift shop I got a model of the Eiffel tower to always be reminded of my birthday in Eiffel Tower. Later on we went to Napoleon's Tomb. Napoleon was short man but he was like an Emporer.
Back at our appartment I opened my birthday presents. As some of you know I really want a frog but, I can't have one until I get back from Germany. So I got a little crystal baby frog from the Swavorski store. He was my favorite of all the presents that I got. Bye! - Gillian

Hi Gillian,
I am so happy you liked your "Happy Birthday" photo. The kids were so happy to do it. I printed a copy of the photo for you to have when you get back. I loved your Paris photos. WOW, do you think they lighted the Eiffel Tower just for your big day!!!????? I think so. As far as the frog....remember a Swerovski crystal frog smells better than a real one!!!! It sound slike your birthday was a dream come true. See you soon.

Hi Gillian,
It looks like you had a fun time on your birthday on top of the Eiffel Tower. It looked very scary being up there. I think I would have to pass on that tour. Talk to you later.
