Hello Class,

I can't believe that I am going to be coming home soon. I hope that your spring break was wonderful. Cici and Ms. Usrey had their spring break and went to Paris France to visit for the weekend. Everything was blooming and this was our favorite picture. I hope you like just as much as we do.
We took the Eurostar from London to Paris. The train took us underneath the English Channel it was really cool to think that we went underwater in a train. Below is Cici and her ticket on the train.

Once we got to Paris we went to Dinner and walked to the Eiffel tower at night. It was really cool to see the Eiffel Tower all lit up at night. We started Thursday by going to the Louvre and seeing wonderful paintings and sculptures. We also got lost inside the Museum. I even got to see the Mona Lisa. After lunch we went to a fashion musuem and the Arc de Triomphe before finishing the night off with a wonderful dinner and great company.

On Thursday we went to several of the different monuments around Paris. We went to Notre Dame, the Eiffel tower for lunch, and Sacre Cour. It was amazing each place was simply wonderful to see. We enjoyed seeing Paris and I think Cici and Ms. Usrey would like to go back one day soon. We also decided to walk to the top of the Eiffel tower at night. We climbed 670 Stairs. Then an elevator took us to the very top level. It was so pretty from the top.

On Saturday we went to Disneyland Paris. It was a lot of fun. We rode a bunch of rides and got to expirence Disney in a whole new way. Cici says that her favorite ride was the tea cups while Ms. Usrey's was Space Mountain. Ms. Usrey's camera died but here is the entrance to the park.

Disney!!

On Sunday we headed home. At Kings Cross Ms. Usrey and Cici found the entrance to Platform 9 and 3/4 so we took a picture by it.

I hope you enjoy reading about Paris. We had a great time and want to go back really soon. Out semester is winding down and we both cannnot believe that we are going to be home really soon. This semester has been wonderful.

Ms. Usrey and Cici
