Part 1 of Ethan's Paris Story

(All pictures in this post were taken by Ethan)

Bonjour. It is Ethan. Bonjour comes from the french language and we just went to France. Specifically we just went to Paris, France. Yeah that's right my family and me just went to Paris, France! It was my families and my first exploration vacation in Europe. We left our house at approximately 8:30 a.m on Thursday morning . It took us about six hours to get there. (By the way we drove to Paris). Our hotel wasn't exactly in Paris so it would take us about half an hour to drive to Paris from our hotel. The name of the hotel we stayed at was called the Marriott. It was a great hotel but it wasn't like a regular hotel, it was a hotel that you literally got your own little house. There were two rooms (Griffin and me shared a room) three bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a dinning room.

The first day we were there which was Thursday afternoon we went to the Eiffel Tower! It was amazing! It was humongous!

We went right under it. The tower had four incredibly large legs, we went in the east leg. It was incredible walking up the Eiffel tower. There was a first, second, and a fourth floor there was no stopping point on the third floor like there was on the first, second, and fourth floor. You could walk up to the first and second floor but you have to ride the elevator up to the fourth floor which is the top floor. They used so much metal pieces to build the tower and a lot of rivets. Once we had gotten to the top I was relieved because I had broke a few sweats. The view was amazing from the top.

You could see the whole city. There was this one river that you could see from the top that was humongous it is called the Seine River.

It was a lot easier walking down than walking up.

Fun Fact: The person who built the Eiffel Tower is called Gustave Eiffel!

This is the tippy top of the Eiffel Tower.
