Hello! When we got to Paris we went to the Eiffel Tower, only to find that the world volleyball championships were on. We climbed up the tower (so many steps!) to check out the view and then went and watched a match between Germany and Brazil. Germany won (of course) but it was really close, so it was really exciting to watch. We then went on to...

Continued from where London left off. 2/14 9:55 am Oops, I guess I didn't write at lunch. Yesterday was a very long day.

Entry 11 of a trip titled: Europe

My month long backpacking trip through Most of Western Europe.
