My Trip to Paris


I went to Paris, France with my aunt and we had a good time. We took an international airplane and had to sit there for a long time. To ease the pain of sitting in one place to long we got to watch movies. I saw Fracture with Anthony Hopkins which was a great movie by the way :] After the plane we arrived in Paris and we got in a taxi, which by they way they dont drive like here. There are no speed limits there or so they said. We arrived at our hotel but my aunt didnt like the location. So we moved to this little five star hotel that was right on this market street. It was amazing. I got to see a lot of different people and different cultures. There were many different kinds of people there. English, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, and they all had different qualities. While sitting on the balcony and watching these people mingle i would look down and below our balcony across the street there was this little Itilian restuarant, and every night he would blow me a kiss and wave. I would wave and go to sleep. He was a short little fat man with dark brown hair and a white apron. He smiled like Santa Clause and would rub his stomach. During our stay we went to Moulin Rouge, which isnt like the movie. And we took a walk down Pigal street which means "pig street." and we went down the river, and while running down the steps to the boat i broke a shoe. How funny is that. It was pretty rainy there as well but it was perfect weather for me since i like the rain so much. As time went on our trip ended and we were back on our international plane. When we arrived home i had the worst jet lag. I would fall asleep at like 8pm and wake up at 5 am. which was strange for me. it was the worst cuz i couldnt figure out how to change it.
