Finally! something big in my life, a trip to Europe. As I began the plane ride from Charlotte I felt so excited to finally see new countries, and a different continent. I had saved up $3000 dollars for the
trip so I thought that I had better use it wisely. It began December 1st, 2009, my first stop, France, home of the Eiffel tower. What a long plane ride it was about 8 hours, gosh that's so long. The main reason i went here was because i wanted
to see the Eiffel Tower, and yes what a site it was, better then i ever imagined! Then i went to Jardin des Tuileries one of Paris's most central and to me a very beautiful gardens. Everything from the fountains, to the trees, statues, it was amazing! Then i went to the Luxembourg gardens, it also had much to offer, but i don't think it was as beautiful as the Jardin des Tuileries. France had many different foods compared to the United States. Since I was there i decided to try one of the most famous French delicacies, Escargot or snail. It really wasn't as bad as it sounds, it was actually really good. If you are ever in France i would recommend that you try escargot, it's truly a good dish. Its my last day here in France and I decided to leave Paris on December the 5th, my next destination was the Netherlands. So boarded the train, next stop, Amsterdam!
