Paris!




So the play at the Globe theater was one of the most amazing I have ever seen! I watched someone have a public hanging right in front of me seriously so scary! it was 10 feet away from me because I was a groundling standing in the base of the theater next to the gallows. Any way after that we saw Big Ben all lit up and beautiful in London and headed home for a good nights rest to fly to Paris the next day. After a long day of travel we finally made it into Paris and went straight to the hosel to get some sleep. On Wednesday the 12th we went on an open top buss tour of Paris where we saw the Arc de Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, where the Bastille once stood, the Louvre, and other museums from the bus. Tomorrow we are gong to the museums! I am tres excited! We also went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night and then came down and saw it all sparkling! It sparkles every hour on the hour for 5 mins. Today we woke up at 5 am to catch our tour of Normandy, we went and saw a tapestry over 1000 years old that is longer than my house telling the tale of William the Conquerer then we went to Utah and Omaha Beaches and the memorials to the US and other Allies of WWII and we saw the cemetary it was really intense, I could not beilive how many it was over 9000 graves and so many with people who we do not have the names of. We ended the Day at a really cute Cafe with an awesome owner who made us laugh all through dinner and I tried- and liked- escargo! Well I am almost out of time so More later !
