week 6: This weekend as part of the program we are going to Paris! We left on friday morning by train. We took the chunnel, which is a long tunnel that connects England and France by going under the English Channel. Once we got there we started sightseeing. On the first day we saw the Moulin Rouge, got dinner on Avenue des Champs Elysees (which is one of the most famous streets in Paris), and the eiffel tower at night all lit up! The next day was a very busy day because it was the onlyfull day we had in Paris. We went and saw the Louvre, which we could have easily spent the entire day in, and saw the Mona Lisa, the inverted pyramid and Pharaonic Egypt. After that we saw some more sights and found out that the Tour de France was finishing in Paris the next day so we went and got to see the final run and the finish line. The last day we were there we went to the Notre Dame. We were able to go to the top of the church to take pictures of all of Paris. It was fantastic! After we were done at the Notre Dame we had to rush back to the train station to catch our train. Overall I liked Paris but I was definitely ready to go back to London!
