Traveling the world with my mom for 4th grade...

Picasso and More


Today was a fun day. We took a long time to get  ready, but we still had a lot of adventures.
 We went to a mall at the Louvre to get a phone for my dad. If you want to know why he needed to get a phone, well it is a long story, let me tell you, he lost it in a airplane!!! So, about the mall, when I was waiting my Mom took me to a toy store. It was the best! If you are in Paris you should go. It is called Pylones. 

Next, we got in a cab and drove … This is our start of our big day! Guess what it was? Ok, I will tell you… we when to an art museum! It was so cool it was all about Picasso’s art. You should look on my Instagram page so you can see my trip to the Musee Picasso. He did a lot of drawings of faces but, they did not look like faces. They look unique and  he did stuff like put the nose  on the cheek or put the hand on the cheek. He invented this. It’s called Cubism.  Also, Picasso liked girls so he did lots of his paintings on girls; it was funny!!!

After Picasso we went to a little place where we got a drink, sat outside and talked for a while.  I had a smoothie, it was kind of yummy, but I gave the rest to my dad. 

After that we went for a long walk back to the Latin Quarter where we are staying.  We ended up taking a cab because I was tired and hungry and because Mom got us lost.  She said she didn’t. 
We ended up having dinner outside on a beautiful street in the Latin Quarter by our apartment. There were lots of people walking around, people playing the guitar and handing out roses.  There is one technique that the guys handing out roses do.  He will say you are beautiful and just put the rose on your table and say it’s for free, but he won’t walk away until you give him money.  That’s a good technique! I would want to try that if I’m a rose seller. 

I have to go.  More tomorrow.  Bye!!!!

    What a day. Hope daddy is up and running with a phone again. He is a busy man.
    Cricket, you will see Pylones all over Europe. I love these stores. I went to one in Venice.
    When you get to Italy, you will find mutant glass candies.
    Back to more important things—the louvre and rodans museum. I.m. Pei designed the pyramids on the louvre. He is a spectacular architect.
    At rodan’s you will see the thinker and dantes gates of hell. Some of my favorite places. There is a restaurant on the side of the louvre with awesome onion soup. Yum. Have a good sightseeing day tomorrow.
    P.s. Along the Seine is where I collected chestnuts that you used to play with on the coffee table. It had a candle on the dish and chestnuts around the base. 😍😀😘
