Visiting France in 2009

In the summer of 2009, I went to France. The main purpose of going to France was to spend time at EuroDisney.  On August 12th, I left my home in England and traveled
on the EuroStar to France. I went underwater in a train! In order to get to France, I had to cross the English Channel and the only way to go was underwater. When I was on the train, I couldn't see any water, I was travelling in a tunnel.  I arrived in France at 12:15pm. I jumped on a bus and went straight to Disneyland. When I arrived at Disneyland, I received balloons. After checking in the hotel, I went to my hotel room and placed my baggage in my room. Since the time then was 12:45, I went to the amusement park. I remember walking down the pavements, and seeing the castle. The first ride I went on was the teacups. I was driving the teacup with my brother and my Dad. The second ride was Big Thunder Mountain. I'm not a fan of roller coasters.  In the ride, there was a tunnel to go through, and the tunnel was completely dark. It freaked me out because I could feel my stomach dropping and I didn't know what was happening because it was so dark. After the ride, I remember coming out crying because I hate the feeling of my stomach suddenly dropping.  I went to dinner later that night , and the food was delicious. I remember ordering shrimp cocktails for the starters, and a 8oz steak for the main course. I had tiramisu for dessert, it was delightful. At midnight, I went out to the parade and fireworks. I saw Mickey Mouse, Princess Jasmine, Ariel, and Cinderella. The best part was seeing their faces in fireworks! On August 18th, I went to the Eiffel Tower. It was a beautiful experience. I remember riding in a tour bus for 2 hours, and watching different tourists sites as I passed by. When I got out of the bus, I had to wait in a long line, to finally enter the tower. Going on the elevator, was a good experience, because the elevators aren't rectangle. The elevator is a square based triangle. It was quite exciting going up the tower, I remember seeing an amazing view of Paris. At last at the end of the day, before going back to the hotel, I got my face drawn. It wasn't a realistic drawing but it was a cartoon drawing. It turned out great and it looked a bit goofy. I returned home on August 19th. Leaving France was a bit sad, but I had a wonderful experience.
