The Blog of Blogs











Hey, you'll never guess where I am... You'll never know I'm in Paris. WHOOPS!! Well, umm, never mind.



Paris has a railroad underground called a metro, where the trains have both train wheels and tyres!!! Strange, isn't it? The first time we rode the metro, we were going to a science museum. In my opinion, science is incredibly awesome. There was a spiny thing that was getting blown up and around into the air. I bet you know what 3D means. I saw a 3D movie about dinos. The archaeopteryx looks like a great escaper, but this bird can't fly. Another movie was about planets. It wasn't 3D but the room was shaped like an enormous rocket nose. This was called the planetarium.



In a different section there was a human sized coffee table that was made out of glass and huge pieces of lego, isn't that cool? To me that was as neat as a rock star.



This blog isn't just about the museum - it's heaps of blogs in one. I also a boat trip where we saw some docked house boats. On one of the concrete bridges there were some hideous faces of the King's courtisans.



I bet you know a truckful about Romans, but you don't know much about Goths. We went to a Gothic church that was designed by an 'un-gothic man' who was a Goth history fan. The church was called Notre Dame. It had some shimmering treasure - it must have been worth a fortune. The church bells were strange. To ring the bells they pulled a rope, but now they can play a piano which will make hammers bonk the bells. The man who designed the church put statues of Jesus' friends and a statue of himself on it. What a self-care, boasting, show-off!



In Paris there is a place called the Lourve - AKA, the home of the Mona Lisa. I also saw some statues of some Greek and Rome gods like Zeus, Jupiter, Apollo, Minerva, Mercury, and Juno. Dad and I stood infront of a frustrated looking statue head and made some cross faces. No one was allowed to touch the paintings. If someone did the humungus security doors will quickly shut with a thundering boom.



Usually when we get off the metro, we go to a place called Champs-Elysese. One time when we were there I got a ride on a towel slide. I wished that New Zealand had all of this as I admired the statue of the tall stone Egyptian obelisk.

Did you know that I have never ridden on the Metro? I thought Gothic was when everyone dressed in black and wore white makeup with black lips and eyes. Where do Gothics come from? Never heard of that civilisation before.
I bet you were itching to get your hands on the lego pieces and make it into something different!

Hey, did you see the Mono Lisa and is she beautiful? What's a towel slide? Is it a big towel with someone pulling it - maybe Dad?

A towel slide is when a peron goes down a slide on a towel.
