Obama rally

Today my family and i went to an Obama rally. we got up pretty early and drove to Columbus where it was taking place. Right when we drove up i knew it would be pretty crowded. Finally, we found a parking spot and started to walk to the park where Obama would be speaking. AS we walked there were tons of people selling Obama shirts, pins, and hats and a bunch of people standing in a long line..... the line to get in. It turned out the line didn't take very long soon we were through the security and fighting for a place to watch. Soon it started to get real hot and we wanted a place to sit down in the shade, bye bye spot. After we saw it getting crowded we decided to head back to our spot it was to crowded so we found another spot a little further back, then it started to get too hot again so we went to sit in the shade again, we lost that spot to. Finally, people started to talk on the stage with the music playing in the back ground of course I couldn't see anything because of the crowd but i could hear the people talking and the crowd cheering. Then after the last person spoke (the mayor of Columbus) we heard a giant cheer and people started to put there cameras in the air because at last Obama started to talk. My brother got onto a truck to take pictures and when we all went over to join him i got a spot on the truck to where I had a perfect view of the stage. Finally, it was time to go. After we ate we went to the Easton Mall to see a movie, after the movie we headed home.

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.
