The Reign of Terror

Jackson and I have been learning about the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror (when thousands of French people; innocent, guilty and children alike, were guillotined following the revolt against Louis XVI).  The second "Reign of Terror" came this past week as the Voorhees family descended on Paris!  Here are the kids' thoughts, pictures and videos of their first trip outside the Geneva area.

Jackson:

Paris is not what I expected.  First, Paris is not the cleanist city in the world.  There are also a lot of homeless people.  But Paris is very cool because all of the historical sites we visited were very large.  I couldn't believe how big The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, The Catherdal at Notre Dame and The Arc De Triumph were. From traveling on the subway to staying at the hotel, our whole trip was an adventure.  The food in Paris is pretty good.  The guide that we hired was extremely helpful and nice.  Her name was Stephanie.  I attached some pictures and videos of our trip for you.
