Barcelona

This is me and my sister at a place called Parc Guell. It was made by someone called Gaudi who is an architect and an artist. In Barcelona he is famous for his mosaics. 


We have some relatives that are living in Spain. We visited them.  This is their dog Donovan. He is part Yorkshire terrier and part Bichon Frise. 



This is a cool sculpture that we found on a famous street called Las       Ramblas.  My mom let climb on it so I did, and after we did that we chased pigeons.

Paris

We went to a museum called the Louvre. the picture below is of us looking at the original Mona Lisa. It was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. It is estimated to be worth $720,000,000 dollars! You can't see it in the picture, but a long time ago someone threw a coffee mug at the case.  It dented the case, but because the case was bulletproof it did not break through or damage the painting. 


   

We also went to the Eiffel tower. The Eiffel tower is 1,050 feet tall. It has only 3 stories, but the stories are at least 200 feet high. It was VERY windy at the top. There were 1,710 stairs , but we took the elevator instead. At the top the view was amazing.You could even see a soccer game from the top!


We also got the visit the Cite des Enfants which is the children's museum in Paris. This is me and my sister in front of a hair-do changing machine.
