The next morning they take a train to Versailles to tour the palace and gardens, lunch nearby, return to Paris, dine at the hotel, and attend the opera.
CONTENT:
The first thing that we did was to go to the office of the American Express Co. to see if there were any letters for us. We found several and then we went to the bank to get some money. After that we went to the hotel and had lunch. In the afternoon we went to the Louvre. It is a wonderful place and we saw many beautiful things. We saw the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory. We also saw many beautiful paintings. We stayed there until it was time for dinner. We went to a little restaurant near the hotel and had a very good dinner. After dinner we went for a walk along the Seine. It was a beautiful evening and the lights on the river were very pretty. We saw Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower in the distance. We were very tired when we got back to the hotel and we went to bed early. The next morning we got up early and went to the station to catch the train for Versailles. It was a beautiful day and the gardens at Versailles were very lovely. We saw the palace and the fountains. We had lunch at a little restaurant near the palace and then we went for a walk in the gardens. We stayed there until late in the afternoon and then we took the train back to Paris. We had dinner at the hotel and then we went to the opera. It was a wonderful performance and we enjoyed it very much. We were very tired when we got back to the hotel and we went to bed early.
