My family and I  went to the warm beach today and made ourselves into sand creatures. Maddie was a mermaid and I was an octopus with five tentacles.  Mom and Jackie did this by burying somebody’s legs in sand and carving sea animals. We decorated the animals with shells to make the animal stand out […]

Today I found my favorite dwelling so far in the whole trip. This apartment  is my favorite for multiple reasons. The first reason is it has an excellent view of the huge church named the Duomo.  Second, it has many beds, so we don’t need to share.  Third it has a funny bathroom because it […]

Today we went to the Vatican City and saw numerous buildings. The first building we saw was St. Peter’s Basilica. My sister, mom, and grandparents all went on the underground tour, but I couldn’t go because you had to be fifteen. Instead, my two other sisters, my dad, and I went up more than 300 […]

Today my family and I went to two well known places. The first place we went to was the Roman Forum. The Roman Forum has multiple ruins of temples of Gods and triumphal arches. We first went to the arch of Titus. This arch is connected with a big party where they bring back the […]

With no French language skills, little to no preparation for our 24 hours in Paris, and multiple accounts from others describing how rude the French are toward tourist, we felt apprehensive about our short stay in France. But instead we were pleasantly surprised! The owner of the hole in the wall crepe shop we ate […]

Paris has a very famous tower called the Eiffel Tower. It glows and sparkles ✨ at night. We climbed up it using stairs and not ropes thank goodness. That would be really scary because the Eiffel tower is nearly 300 meters tall! While we were waiting for the Eiffel Tower to glow, we looked in […]

Today we went to three parks. One was fun, and the others were too small. The first park was one of the smaller ones, but it was still pretty fun. We played there for a few minutes, and I got some school work done there. Then we went to the next park. This park was […]

Oh the things I remember Good and bad  I should not forget them,  For they are memories,  And memories should not be forgotten.   The art, the ruins The David to the Pantheon.  By slaves, by artists  By paid, by wealthy.  They were built well  And still are here.   I’m glad to see and […]

While we were in France we visited a really cool castle called Carcassonne. The story goes that the castle and town inside were under siege. As their food supply dwindled, a woman who’s last name was Carcass threw a whole pig over the city walls where it landed by some soldiers. The soldiers, who were […]

Yesterday, we drove three long hours to get to our next apartment in Barcelona which is on the north east coast of Spain. The house is right on the beach, has a bunk bed, enough beds for all of us, and it has a pool. This place is going to be awesome!  Once we were […]
