We had a pretty late start to the day. We got breakfast at the hotel then walked over to the Louvre. My favorite part of the Louvre's architecture is it's awesome glass pyramid in the front of it. They had very famous art and sculptures there. Two of which were the Mona Lisa, and the Venus de Milo. One thing that Mom thought that made Venus de Milo so famous was that it was unique in how she was just standing there, not leaning on a tree and with no props. The Mona Lisa was definitely the most popular. I was able to get a pretty nice photo of the Mona Lisa considering the crowds, thanks to the security taking it for me. We were also able to look at some more of Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings. My favorite piece was Venus de Milo because of its simplicity and the way it looks.
Next we took a cyclo over to the Notre Dame Cathedral where we ate lunch and had a delicious crepe. Outside the cathedral was a big line leading into what looked like a haunted castle with gargoyles on the outside. Inside the gothic cathedral was a large corridor called the nave, which was especially tall and long. The roof was beautiful and the stained glass was pretty too with the cathedrals big rose windows.
We walked across the river to a pet store. On the way we stopped by a couple others and looked and played with cute kittens. At another store there were birds too! Unfortunately I didn't get to pet or handle any of them but they were still cool to look at! We walked a pretty short way to the bike rentals. We biked to the Eiffel Tower. On the way there we biked by the water and played a game that was a mix of tennis and tether ball, it was really fun. The Eiffel Tower was really cool. In the middle of it was a giant tennis ball hanging from it with Roland Garros on it. They also had a place where you could serve a tennis ball and a speedometer picked up the speed of your serve. My fastest speed was 114 kph.
Riding back to the hotel we rode through Concord Square which has oblique that was given from Egypt. Once at the hotel we got dressed up for our dinner with Mom's friend, Andrew and his family. We talked during dinner and I met their two sons Ethan (age 10), and Drew (Age 14). After our dinner together we bought some dessert along the street and walked into and by a cathedral where there was a musician playing on the stairs and a great view of the city at night. Finished with visiting with our friends we took Uber back to the hotel after a pretty busy day.
