Week1A: My Post

Today I am lost in my memories of a trip to France with my mother.  I was only 12 years old, yet I can remember the trip like it was yesterday.  After a long plane ride, we arrived to a beautiful hotel in the heart of Paris.  It was an early morning in July and I recall how nice the staff was to welcome us to our their hotel. The smell of fresh baked bread as we walked along the street.  We started the day off with a tip to the Louvre.  Notwithstanding the fact that I had visited many museums with my mom before this particular trip, the Louvre seemed almost unreal to me.  It housed some of the most famous works of art known in history.  The statutes, the paintings I had learned about as a little girl were now right in front of me.  I could not wait to see what was in store for us next.

After learning how to use the subways,we finished our day at the Eiffel Tower.  We climbed to the top.  We did it with such enthusiasm that I wonder if we could do it again.  The day turned into evening and the Tower lit up with the most beautiful twinkling lights.  We sat on a bench after descending from the top and ate our baguettes with meat and cheese and got lost in the idea of being able to live in France.  These memories and the special time with my mom is why I chose this theme.
