(from Elijah' journal)
A few days ago we went to the Eiffel Tower. At night the tower lights up in yellow. On the hour, tiny white lights start flashing all over the tower. We walked to the 2nd floor, which is about 700 steps. On the 2nd level, there is a miniature white Eiffel tower and lights around it would flash different colors. Then we bought tickets for the elevator. The line was like 45 minutes so I read my book to pass the time.
On the top there are windows and you can see for miles. Below the windows is a sign of the scene and has dots with numbers in a certain section so you can find important things. Then we had to wait on another line, and I read my book to pass the time again. Then we went on another elevator all the way down. It was so fun.
I got sick and I had to stay in bed for about 3 days. I also had a really bad headache. While I was sick, I read a lot and had a nap every day. One day, the first one actually, I watched Star Wars 2 - Attack of the Clones on Daddy's ipod. It was so good.
