seeing friends again

Today we didn't have any school work since it was Sunday. We have been recently reading an article on Joan of arc. We've read about how she lead France into winning many victories and help to crown king Charles. We are now at the part of how she was burned for committing heresy. That day we also got to go to are friends house. While we were at our f riends house we had to go to our friends uncles pet clinic and a little teacup chiwawa named Taco who had to get a shot for him to survive. while we were there my sister and our friends played tag and played with the cats and a dog called Frenchie. We also ordered a pizza to take to the park with us. The park we were going to was new and it had a club house and a lot of things to climb on. We also played lots of games there before leaving. Once we had left we went to get ice cream and marshmellow milkshakes before going home. When we got home we were tired and went to bed after reading.

Notre Dame

Today we visited notre dame. Notre Dame is a gothic cathedral in Paris. Once we got to Notre Dame we had to stand in a large line. it took about 15 minutes until w actually got inside. Right away we started to climb the 400 steps to the top of the church. We climbed and climbed and climbed and pretty soon we got to the first level. it was a pretty good view but the top was much better. Once we got to the top we had a spectacular view. Not as good as the Eiffle tower, which you could see, but still a view of the river and below Notre Dame. Inside the church the priest was preaching and there were candles lit everywhere. We walked around and looked at statues like the sculpture of Joan of arc. Once we left we headed on looking forward to the rest of the day.

The Patisserie

Today after we got back from are big museum walk my brother, sister, and i went to the Patisserie to get dinner and dessert that night. We walked around the corner towards a little shop that was down the street from our apartment. they had decorated treats like pie with the fruit in beautiful designs and they had treats that looked like they were a big glob of whip cream. We ended up getting one tiny pizza and a bunch of little pieces of pizza. For dessert we got to pieces of berry pie and 2 pieces of apircot pie, also an apple pie. The pie looked so pretty you didn't want to eat them to destroy the designs. they tasted just as good as they looked. when we got back we feasted on pie and pizza.
