The Alps and Roman Ruins





A few days ago I went to the French Alps and saw the largest moutain in France Mount Blanc and to get to the top of the mountain we had to go on a cablecar. On the very top of the mountain there is snow every where. After lunch we went on a glacier walk it was amazing, the whole ground was made of ice. Inside the glacier it was freezing we had to wear great big poofy jackets there was also alot of ice sculptures. A few days before we went to the alps we saw a Roman Ampitheatre and it was HUGE. Down at the stage there were some people singing a Roman song. On another trip we saw some amazing Roman aquaducts.

LENTILLY (continued)


It is great to see that so many people have been checking my blog. I have just gotten back from a castle called Geadlon, there they are building it as if it is still the middle ages so they have jobs that used back then like a blacksmith,masons,carpenters,tilers or ropemakers. My uncle Phillip works there as a mason. There is also a farm there with cute little piggys that are short and fat.

Lentilly



We have had a great time in France so far. The food is AMAZING! We are staying with my French aunty Sylvie and my cousins Mathilde and Marjolaine. The weather has been cold and rainy but at last it is sunny. We have picked lots of fruit from the garden like strawberries, cherries and raspberries. Yesterday we went shopping and went on a subway in Lyon and it had no driver!!

Regensburg

We have just arrived in Regensburg 2 days ago. We are staying at our friend Laila's house on the Regen River. Laila has 2 kids and they are really cute! We have already been to see the old city, its really beautiful.












I also saw some ruins of the original Roman town.











My finger has finally recovered after being attacked by a giant beetle, while in Finsterlor.














We have been watching lots of football, sadly the Germans lost 2:1 to Croatia.

Rothenburg

We just arrived in Rothenburg. We're staying in our relatives' house. Yesterday we went the Altstadt (old town) in Rothenburg and it was full of crazy shops. The old town is made out of stone and wood and cobblestones. There is a wall around the whole town which makes it a citadel. It was interesting because it is so old.

TOKYO

We had a great time in Tokyo (even though we were only there for one night) I saw alot of funny signs like JOY parking, car shop friends and we hope you make a happy selection for yourself. We also went to a Japanese temple and it was HUGE! and infront of it was a pond ful of turtles (408).
