2 days ago, the family went on a daytime bike tour with the Fat Tire bike company based out of Austin! The day after that, we did another bike tour that was at night time also with Fat Tire! The day tour had a lot more stops to learn about what we were looking at! The day tour also had a lot more easy, smooth, and level roads so it was a little easier than the night tour that had lots of bumpy and hilly roads. On the night tour, we stopped at the most delicious ice cream shop in Paris and maybe even France! I got Dark Chocolate, two scoops in a cone! Delicious! After that, we road our bikes to the Louvre and took lots of pictures! The night tour was not just bikes, we also did an hour boat ride down the Seine! It was VERY cold but worth it because we got to see the sparkling Eiffel Tower that only happens 5 minutes every night! One of the lessons from the night bike tour I will remember the most is that they repaint the Eiffel Tower every 7 years so it doesn’t get rusty and the next time they do it (in 2 or 3 years I think) they will change the color! Any one can vote on the color at the first floor of the Eiffel Tower and guess what is in the lead…………HOT PINK!!! I was angry… VERY angry. Anyways, here are some pictures:

A few days ago me and my mom decided that it was about time to take a dance class! After quite a bit of searching on the internet, my mom was able to find a studio that is open in the summer and most classes are in English. One of the surprising things we’ve found about studios in Paris is that they are usually closed in the summer which is very different from the way it is in the US because at home the summer is one of the most important parts of the year. Once we got to the studio and were told what building the class was in, we had quite a bit of trouble figuring out what class we were supposed to be taking. Eventually we decided to just take a Jazz class which ended up being fine. Thankfully the class was in English though the teacher did have to change to English and French about halfway through. The class was so much fun and we are incredibly sore now!

The time had finally come! We were going to Disneyland Paris! The first ride we did was Big Thunder Mountain where we rode inside and around a bunch of big mountains! There was one time I was about to hit my head but it went down right before! Our favorite three rides were:
3. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror! There is a huge building that says: HOLLYWOOD HOTEL! You go inside and it looks like an old building with cob-webs, old paintings and more spooky stuff. You go in a room and the doors shut and the lights go off. Lightning strikes and bookcases open up and it reveals a room in the walls with broken pipes and stuff. The service elevator stands in front of you and the doors open and you go inside. We sit down and strap in. The lady says all of the stuff like: Keep your hands and feet inside the ride bla bla bla. Then, she walks up to the door and mysteriously says, “Au revoir…” That means goodbye. She shuts the doors and you go up and drop and go up and drop and the elevator doors open and you see the ghosts of the hollywood stars in the hallways getting struck by lightning. You take a big drop. Then, you go up to the top of the hotel and the doors open and you see a huge view of Disneyland when you drop ALL THE WAY DOWN 16 floors! Then, the ride is over… For now…
2. ROCK’N’ ROLLER COASTER STARRING AEROSMITH! A super fast ride where you enter a car and it shoots off into a room full of darkness! The car has speakers BLASTING into your ear at full volume and it does 360’s, sharp turns, sudden drops, and more! It was so awesome!
1. Space Mountain: Mission 2! If you’ve done Space Mountain at Disney world, then you will love Space Mountain: Mission 2! Space Mountain doesn’t go upside down, it just does sharp turns and sudden drops and stuff. This one goes upside down, does cork screws and so much more! There is planets and astroids and a bunch of stuff! You start off by shooting up through a tube and entering a big, dark dome! From then on, its just a big ball of craziness! After it, I didn’t want to go on ANY other rides because 1. I would get an upset stomach and 2. non of them would compare to Space Mountain: Mission 2!
It was a great trip to Disney Paris and I hope we go back soon!
