This summer ('09) my family and I drove 5 hours from Switzerland to Paris. We took an elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower, climbed the 788 stairs to the top of Notre Dame and saw the gargoyles at the top, and saw some famous paintings in the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay. After spending 4 days in a hotel in Paris we drove for 2 hours to Normady where the American Soldiers landed during World War 2. We saw several cemetaries and musems about World War 2. The picture is a picture of us visiting one of the cemetaries. We spent a total of 3 nights and 2 full days in Normandy, France. I really enjoyed this vacation it challenged our french, expanded our learning, and I tried new foods such as Escargot (snails), Hard Boiled Eggs and Mayonaise, and Musles. Musles were gross(2 me) and snails were o.k. I liked dipping my bread in the garlic sause. But I LOVED the Eggs with Mayonaise!!
