3.00pm- bedtime in Rome

PART 4
Finally we were off the plane. my ears felt like two big balloons and my stomach felt sick, but when I glanced out the window the beauty of Italy amazed me, and I hadn't even saw the city yet. Next we had to find a way to get to our apartment so we went to a stand where they were selling train tickets. Only 11 Euros each, that would be 75 dollars here. We went to another stand that said tourist information and the lady there told us we could take a van straight to our apartment, so we waited and a driver came and led us to a big white van with two other people. Most of the ride nobody talked Gabe, Isabel, and I were just staring at the scenery. Out of the city there were fields and lots of trees and in the city was much different.

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.
