The Eiffel Tower

     Madrid was really fun, but I think Paris is going to be one of my favorite trips. Paris is in Northern France. France borders Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and the North Atlantic Ocean. The exact location of Paris is 49˚ North, and 2˚ West. Paris has an oceanic climate, meaning it get’s warm, but not hot in the summer, and cool, but not cold winter. France's main exports are machinery, transportation equipment, aircraft, plastics, chemicals, iron and steel, and beverages.

     One of the most interesting cultural traits was the Eiffel Tower. It was so cool. I learned that it was meant to be a temporary entrance ark to the 1889 World’s Fair, but they decided to keep it. After I went to the Eiffel Tower, I went to an art museum called the Louvre. It was amazing. I saw many famous works of art, including the Mona Lisa. In the front, there was a big glass pyramid. The food was also delicious. I tried lots of cheeses.

     I am so glad that I got the experience of going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The elevator ride was so cool. I am also glad that I got to try so many new foods. Paris was great!
