Next
stop Paris, France
Adios
to Madrid, Spain and bonjour to Paris, France! In Paris there is a lot of history, which I could see by
all of the palaces and palace-like architecture. This one below is a palace
called the Louxembourg Palace.

Another
amazing architectural structure in Paris is the Eiffel Tower. On March 31, 2012, 123 years ago the
Eiffel Tower was finished being built, and officially presented for its
completion. I had wait in a long
line for a ride to a romantic restaurant high up in the Eiffel Tower. It’s a good thing I’m not scared of
heights.
France is located next to Spain,
Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. France’s natural
boundaries are the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the other side of
the Pyranees. France is about a
little less then two times the size of Colorado to show you how big it is.
Paris is located at 48 degrees 51’23.81’N and 2 degrees, 21’08.00” East.
France’s natural resources are coal, iron ore, bauxite, zinc, uranium, antimony,
arsenic, potash, feldspar, fluorspar, gypsum, timber, and fish.
Everywhere
I look in Paris I see fashion and fabulous architecture. Every corner there are pushcarts
selling fresh bread, cheese, fruit, or crepes with nutella. I see artists out and painting
beautiful paintings of the Seine river, which runs through the heart of Paris.
I
was surprised to see the Statue of Liberty in the Jardin de Louxembourg. I thought the Statue of Liberty only
existed in New York. The smaller
statue that I saw in Paris was a model for the bigger gift that France gave to
the United States back in the 1886. I was looking at the original model for the
Statue of Liberty.
As
I bid adieu to Paris I will miss how good and fresh the bread is, but I also
can’t wait to start on a new journey to Rome, Italy.
