Paris with my Dad






So the adventure begins! My dad and I decided to travel to Europe a week early and explore Paris. It was truly a week that I will never forget. After 14 hours of traveling we finally arrived to our hotel. It was a very small hotel with a balcony overlooking Rue Cler (a famous Parisian street with lots of little shops and many people). I realized that my dad and I are perfect travelers for each other: we both like to take lots of naps, eat good food, enjoy the city, and wake up at the same time in the middle of the night due to jet lag. Each morning we would start our day off with café con leche and an omelet, then begin our adventures of sightseeing. During our five days in Paris we saw the Eiffel tower, the Louvre, Arch De Triomphe, Nortre Dame, Sacre Coure, Versailles, and many other museums. I realized that I am not too enthusiastic about art, but we tried to appreciate all the wonderful masterpieces that surrounded us. My favorite museum that we went to was Musee de L’armee, which was a museum of ancient guns, armory, and shields. During this week I saw many BFB's (Big French Buildings), had the most expensive latte that I will ever drink (10 euros=13 dollars), shared many deep conversations about life with my father, and got lost many times but by the end of the trip we had conquered the city.
