Brielle in Europe-May 20

Date: Wednesday, May 20
Location: Paris, Normandy
First, we went to the Eiffel Tower.  We got to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower on an elevator.  We could see an eyeful of Paris from the top.  Next, we went to Notre Dame Cathedral.  We got to see inside and it was very pretty.  We also went to see the small gardens in the back.  After, we went to the Louvre.  We saw the famous painting of Mona Lisa.  We also saw the Raft of the Medusa.
We took a picture of the eiffel tower from the other side of the seine river.
We took a picture from right under the eiffel tower.  It looked like it was only 4 feet tall if you looked at the picture, but it is actually a little over 1000 feet tall.
We took a picture from the 3rd level of the eiffel tower.  You can see a lot of Paris from up there.  
On the 2nd level, we took a picture hanging over the fence while Uncle Evan took the picture from the bottom so it looked like we were climbing up the eiffel tower.
Most Cathedrals only have 1 big cube or a spiral, but Notre Dame is special because it has 2 of them and it has a bunch of flying butlers hanging of the side.
They had really pretty stained glass window like this one and they had a lot of colors.  
We went to the Louvre Museum and the hallway that we are standing in is special because it has a glass top.
We saw Mona Lisa at the Louvre.  The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci.  
There was a glass pyramid outside of the Louvre.  We stood on a glass stool and pretended we were holding the pyramid, because it looked like we were holding it in the picture.
