California

Hooray I'm in California!! I can't believe it! It took so long to get here. (13 hours) It was great seeing our family!

Paris

Ha ha I have gotten to my Paris post! Please enjoy the pics. :)

This is the Eiffel Tower which you all should know. On the right Cambria and I are on the carousol (which she dragged me on to.) I love this picture. We only went to the second landing although I wanted to go to the top.

These two pics are of Notre Dame We went all the way to the top! After that we ate lunch right next to it!

 
This is my mom at Moulin Rouge! We kind of just got out of the Metro, took our pictures, and left. :)

This is Sacre Coeur! The coolest part was the little shopping and eating area up there. Also we could see Sacre Cur from the Eiffel Tower so it was cool when we got there and could see the Eiffel Tower.

 On the left is me on the Eiffel Tower. Before we went up I told my sister that if she didn't behave I'd throw her off the Eiffel tower but, to my dissapointment there was metal squares blocking my way. On the right is me and my sister at dinner. (See doesn't she look crazy, like at any moment she'll go bouncing off the walls?)

On the left is me and my sister by the Mona Lisa which was surprisingly small. On the right is me eating Escargo. It was actually pretty good considering they smothered it in garlic and butter. Yum!

Mont Saint Michael

                                                              


These are my pictures from Mont Saint Michael. If you didn't see from the post before I am posting parts of my trip to France from last year in different posts.

This is Mont Saint Michael. It is a whole town.

 This is my sister on Mont Saint Michael. We rented a room there. It was so amazing. That's why she's in her PJs.

 Sorry this pic is sideways. I can't seem to turn them the right way. Anyways this is me in front of Mont Saint Michael at night. My mom and I went out there at night to take some pics.

So this picture is of us at Monet's house which, for those of you who don't know, is not on Mont Saint Michael.

 

Normandy

So in the next few posts I'll be sharing my journey through France with you. There are so many things to see there! It was really hard narrowing down the pictures but I got the best ones. Just so you know went there during the summer last year.


  

 

These two pictures are of the beaches at Normandy. The objects were floated over from England and used like docks. Also while we were there we saw these little brown worm things and, being naturally curious as we humans are, we stepped on one and it just dissolved in to the sand. Now none of us new what they were so of course we Googled them. We found out that they were sand worm "droppings". Yeah...

 This is a stained glass picture of a parachuter from World War 2. Surprisingly this was in a church!

Budapest

So this weekend we went to Budapest and WOW. It was so amazing. The baths were my favorite place. They looked very greek and ancient but there were fun things like jets and a waterfall! Also there were mineral baths inside the building. I'll post pictures we took while we were there but for now here's some pictures of the places we went to from google images. NOTE these are not my pictures.

Camp

I just came back from camping in the Forest of Dean! It was so much fun and I was really lucky that one of the  supervisors was also a vegan!

We had to climb up this

The Frog Prince

In the past 5 days me, around 40 other kids and two awesome adults, named Alison and Brian, put on a play! It was a different non romance version of the classic story The Frog Prince. It was so much fun! I was one of the three princesses named Princess Peppy. The other two were Prim and Proper. Prim was the main Princess and she was really mean and Proper was well... proper. I'll post pics soon! Oh and the two adults were part of Missoula Children's Theater. By the way if you google Missoula Children's Theater Frog Prince Peppy, you might find a picture of my costume which was denim. I absolutely loved it!! If you don't I shall post pics soon! TTFN

Let's Move

Siva, Jay and Max from The Wanted.

Max and Nathan from The Wanted.

This Friday I went to an event called Let's Move. It was hosted by Michelle Obama! We got to see her and a lot of famous but retired Olympians like Nadia Comeneci!(She's a gymnast if you don't know) We also got to see the band The Wanted from the front of the crowd! Also we got to play lots of activities!  

                                                      It was a really fun event!

We also saw David Beckham!

Mrs. Obama and some athletes.

Italy

Last Spring break we went to Italy! The first two pictures are of Venice. The one below on the left is the Colosseum. The one on the right is Pompeii. Below them on the left is Florence and on the right is Pisa. It was a great trip and it was really fun!

A true story of mine

In Bacharach, Germany they are famous for their wine. You can tell especially because they have grapes growing right there on the hillside which is very steep. After eating dinner in town we were walking by some grapes and my mom says that she will pay whoever gets to the top first a euro. Now that's not a lot so my sister smartly says she's not going to go up there. I on the other hand decide to take the challenge. I start running up the hill but about half way up I start walking. By the time I get 3/4's of the way up I'm practically pulling my self up the hill because it's so steep. Finally I get to the top, pitying the people who have to pick all these grapes.When I got to the top I heard loud noises that in my tiredness I mistook for Police Sirens. I quickly assumed that I wasn't supposed to have climbed up there and after smiling for my mom's picture I ran down to the bottom. I asked what the noises were and my parents told me that it was just vuvuzelas because tonight happened to be the football match between Germany and Portugal. I sighed with relief and slowly and shakily started walking back to our hotel. I was so tired that I didn't even remember to get my euro.

Germany

This Summer we went to Germany and it was great!

First we went to a town called Bacharach on the Rhein river. It was quintessential German! All of the town was gorgeous!












Then we went to a Mozart dinner in Salzburg, Austria with live music and opera singers! It was pretty cool especially because all the performers were dressed like people in Mozart's time.

This is my knees over the gondola we rode up to the top in

This is me paragliding

   After that we went back to Germany were me and my dad went paragliding off the Alps.

  

Vegan while traveling

It's been really hard only eating Vegan food while traveling in Europe. Most meals at least include cheese. Luckily now that lent is over I don't have to be super strict about not eating cheese. I am strict about not eating meat and eggs. I try not to eat dairy products but sometimes I do. I do eat fish though so, that's what I mainly ate during our latest trip to Germany, Austria and driving through a few other countries. I ate a lot of salads on that trip. :)

Spain

This is Gibraltar 

          This is a Tapa                                                                                                                                                                                                           

   The ocean in Spain was beautiful!

  The monkeys at Gibraltar liked to try and steal your things!
