Hey guys,

I have not posted in a while so I have a lot to talk about! We went to a chateau in the middle of the forest  (Literally).   It was really nice we dined on the terrace and we all ate Froi Grois. The next day we went to Park Asterix! We rode on a really cool Roman ride where Caesar worked with Astrix and Obelix to see if we were good enough to be a roman spy. Then my favorite ride was the Bob-sled ride cause your pulled up to the top and then your off the track and the speed takes you u shake a lot but it is really awesome!

At the last hotel in Paris was kinda small but the rooms are amazing!!! The first  full day in Paris we visited amazing Cemetery with famous people buried there like Oscar Wilde and Sara Bernhardt.  I enjoyed looking at the different tombstones and how the Cemetery changed a lot from straight to curved a bit.

Our last day in Paris and on vacation we went to the Fete Foraine  and rode the water ride.. and went into the fun house! Then then explored the city and we found a cute little cafe where i had ice-cream and something to drink. We arrived back in the hotel and here i am now blogging!

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog can’t wait to see you soon!

Hey guys! It has been a really busy day here in France. First place we visited was La Pointe du Hoc and it was beautiful!!! It had bunkers from the war, bomb craters that i could climb in and  a small museum to show all the memorials of people who died in the war.

The second place was Omaha beach a very quiet place with only a few houses on the hill. This was  a part of the battle field (apart from the houses) they had to climb up this big hill with everything they needed! Seems hard right?

The third place was at the Graveyard of all the soldiers who died in the war there was about… 10,000. Then we found a grave with words carved with gold marking where Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was buried. It was sad yet happy at the same time. Sad because they died for us and all the people there who were buried made my life and yours possible. Yet happy because their death was not in vain.

The last place was where we visited was  Gold Beach and we hung there in the sand I took my shoes off and played in the water! The was some left over cement pieces from the dock the town made for ships but it was destroyed in the war.  Turns out they were only up for 6 weeks!  The water started to rise so we went to dinner, but when we came back you could not even walk on the sand the tide came all the way to the rocks!

The last special place was where i met my friends (who are cows). We went there because my dad saw the cows and went to look after he stopped the car so I went too. The baby ones were on 1 side and the moms were on the other, we never found out why they were separated though. My cow friends were called Cookie,Mooie,and Looie. we chatted for a bit in Moo language and then we had to go we got back here and here I am now!

See ya next time!,
