Europe

Over vacation I took a three week trip to Europe. I went to Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, and London. I visited art museums and took a bus tour in Paris. We rented an apartment on Rue de la Paix in Paris for a week. My grandpa and my grandma came with my mom and I. My grandpa drove a standard-shift car from Brussels to Amsterdam and then to Paris.
While wandering the streets of the Latin Quarter in Paris, we stumbled across a crepe pavillion. I had been looking for crepes forever and asked my mom if I could borrow a few pence to buy one of these deliscious-smelling pasteries. I had my mom ask the vendor (in French) for a crepe with nutella and banana. Together we watched him pour the yellowish batter on the cooking plate and smooth it out with a sortof flat rake. He slathered the hazelnut chocolate sauce around, commonly known as "Nutella" and slice up bananas into the crepe.

Europe was awesome.
