Mickey, Goofy, Winnie & Co. || DISNEYLAND

Welcome to fabulous Disneyland!!! Here are some pictures we wanted to share with you. Hope you like them.

The line was incredibly long but we made it to Mickey Mouse!non-verbal.

Look how strong we are!!
.....And how weak I am :)
Winnie the Pooh - my favourite; he gave me kisses. I totally fell in love with him.
Mark Twain. We did not take a ride, but it looks so beautiful.
Buzz Lightyear was so fun. It looks like Amy won, but we reached the same level :). Well, but she probably won anyway.
Amy told me but I first did not recognize that I had to steer the car - I was moving like a snake.
Splash Mountain was the wettest experience. But it was definitely worth though!!!! Fortunately we had fast tickets, otherwise it would have taken for hours.. I love our faces.
Melissa and I after the Tiki Room. Tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki....I love this castle!
So we really stayed there from 9am to 9pm and and we are still alive. We had such a great time and I'm so lucky and happy that Amy could arrange that so spontaneously. I'm looking so forward to coming back next summer - hopefully.

PARIS 10/02 - 10/08/08


Paris
is a beautiful city with so many cute districts, streets and shops. Great history that you can learn in many museums.
I had the opportunity to visit Paris for 6 amazing days. Originally it was a project journey of my school. Although we had a lot of fun by taking photos, sight seeing tours, enchanting views from the Eiffel Tower or just from the district Montmatre at noon and night.
So we were about 13 persons. Two teachers, 10 girls and one poor boy... haha
Our hotel was in the district Place d'Italie, Rue Le Brun. It was in front of a building lot and another location. Every day began at 5am woken up by the sweet noise of a jackhammer.
Each day we walked about 100000000000s of miles and did a lot other things that made us quite tired. When going back to hotel at about 10-11pm we always wanted to go to bed immediately. When possible we watched movies cause we could not go sleeping although.
At night another noise was disturbing our precious silence we needed to sleep.
So the location was Le Relax and every night they had a party in that location.........
that was no relaxing for us :)

Paris is really expensive but that didn't prevent us from going shopping. Finally we all were pretty successfull.
My favorite shopping district was Marais. I never have seen such so many cute shops where you can buy individual stuff you cannot buy somewhere else.
In Marais are living many Jews which was pretty interesting to see in all these narrow streets.
Notre Dame was incredible!! Built in 1163 and we went up to one of the two towers where we had an amazing view. The church is built in gothic style but really on the fences of the towers are strange figures that look like monsters or stuff like this.
In the shop of one tower my friend Sina and I found great swords to have a little fight. that was fun!
One of my favorite attractions was the motor scooter in red and pink. After Rome, Paris must be the city with the most motor scooters on earth. The red Vespa was cool and the pink one as well.....
I ♥ PARIS
