Travels with Katrina

Since I was in middle school, it has always been a dream of mine to travel to Europe. In particular, it has always been my life long goal and dream to travel to Paris, France. When I was in the eighth grade I took an exploratory language class. Out of all the languages I studied, French was my favorite. Throughout high school I continued to take French. I took French I, II, III, and IV. I wanted to learn as much as I could; in hope that one day I would travel to France.   

As many years past, my dream to go to France still hadn’t come true. Finally on June 16, 2016 I flew to Paris, France. I was the happiest girl in the world and couldn’t believe that my dream had finally come true.

In France I visited many cities and monumental structures. The first place I visited was called the Chateau de Versailles. This was the castle where King Louis and Marie Antoinette lived. It was a beautiful and enormous palace on the inside and outside.

Next, I visited a museum called the Louvre. My favorite artwork in the whole museum was the Mona Lisa. This was the closest one could get to the most famous painting in the world. 

Lastly, I went to see the Eiffel Tower. During my whole trip to France, I was most excited to see Le Tour Eiffel. I got the opportunity to also tour the tower. It was amazing to go up the elevators on the Eiffel Tower to see the whole city of Paris from above. The view was breathtaking and one to always remember.     

My trip to France was a dream come true.  I still can't believe I travelled all the way to Europe. I loved everything about France and can't wait until the day I return. I'll be dreaming everyday until my wish comes true again.
