PARIS

As you already know from reading Mia's blog, last week end Mia, Bippy, gramps and I went to Paris. My three favorite places that we visited were the Musee D'Orsee, the food street and the Champs Ellysee.

Every morning that we were in Paris we walked to the food street, it's the famous street that has tons of restaurants and food stores, but I can't remember it's entire name but it started with a M so we just call it the food street. The reason why I really liked the food street was because everyone seemed to be so relaxed and all the food in the shops looked really good except the meat shops. Also I love the croissants there, they were crispy and practically melt in your mouth.

On the second day, after seeing the Louvre, we walked down the Champs Ellysee. We were all really tired from seeing the Louvre The Champs Ellysee was really crowded and there was tons of shop windows to look at. Gramps went in to was a car shop so I followed and so did Bippy and Mia, the car place was showing a bunch of old cars on red revolving platforms. The next shop we went into was the biggest Sephora in France, Bippy and gramps waited out side because they were exhausted and it was packed in there. So Mia dragged me in there and I sampled a perfume that smelled like apples and followed Mia around. When we finally got out of Sephora, we looked for a restaurant to get drinks at and for Bippy to get off her feet. We ended up going to the restaurant for the five star Marriot hotel. Bippy and gramps got beers and Mia and I got ice cream. I ordered raspberry, mango and lemon flavored ice cream, and Mia got white chocolate, dulce de leche and strawberry the ice cream was really good. After we ate our ice creams, Mia went back in to Sephora and I went into another shop that was one of those tourist shops because all the other shops were too high end. I bought a biggish bag that had a bunch of world maps all over it. The reason I bought the bag was because it was made to pack down well. Then we walked the rest of the Champs Ellysee and looked at the big gate at the end of it and then gramps hailed a taxi and went back to the apartment. I was to tired to really look at the gate I ended up just putting my stuff into my new bag.

We visited the Musee D'Orsee on our last day in Paris. Since it was the first Sunday of June all museums were free and the line to get into the Musee D'Orsee was really really long, but thankfully it was moving fast or we wouldn't have gone in to the museum. When we finally got into the Musee D'Orsee we each grabbed a map and Gramps tried to find the way to the top floor where all the impressionist painting are. It took maybe ten to fifteen minutes to wade through all the people to get to the end of the gallery's. We planned to meet at the restaurant after thirty minutes of looking at the paintings and I found about three that I really liked. It took less than thirty minutes for us to look at all the paintings. As always Bippy lagged behind even though Bippy had seen it before,. Then we ate lunch at the museum restaurant, I had pasta and it was really good. Our only conversation that i remember was about how the waiters that worked at the restaurant were so efficient. After eating Mia and I ordered some ice cream, my desert was huge milkshake cup filled with caramel, coffee and chocolate ice cream topped with a mountain of whipped cream, it was delicious. After lunch we went downstairs and looked at some of van Gogh's art and I looked for post cards to help me write my blog about my favorite paintings. Then we walked back to our apartment.

I had tones of fun in Paris but I had to chose my favorites and the Musee D'Orsee, the food street and the Chanps Ellysee were on the top of my list.
