Two weeks ago I was walking through the Lansing Mall and I stopped by a table that I saw had a sign above it that said " If you want to go on a vacation in this is your chance to do so. All you have to do is fill out the information on one of the sheets, put it in then box and a name will randomly be selected in two weeks." Well, ever since I was young I have wanted to go to Europe. So, I filled out the sheet and put it in the box and then walked away. Two weeks later I got the call of my life this nice,young lady told me that I was the winner of the vacation to Europe. I was about to scream. She also told me that all of my fees to go there were taken care of. This is how I am going on a flight to Europe tomorrow morning. I am so excited one because I have never been to Europe before also I have never been on a plane in my life.
 * Two weeks before trip to Europe: Going to France**

**Day 1: Arrive in Europe** This morning my plane arrived in Europe at 10:30am. The weather here is the same as in Michigan. I checked into the hotel and headed out to the Eiffel Tower. When I got to the Eiffel Tower I was in such a shock. I always knew that the tower was big but it is even bigger than you would ever imagine in person. I also realized the people in France are basically the same as the people in America with the same clothes but, one thing that is different is that they eat a lot of pasta. I stayed at the Eiffel Tower for about 2 hours and then went to get something to eat and headed off to the Louvre. When I arrived at the Louvre it didn't look very nice from the outside but when I stepped inside it was very beautiful. There were a lot of trees and even some mountains off in the distance. It also had a river nearby. While I was there I saw many famous paintings including the Mona Lisa. I spent about four hours there and then again went out to eat and then I headed back to my hotel after that. Tomorrow I will be heading out to Euro Disney in Chessy, France.

**Day 2: At Euro Disney**

This morning I got up, checked out of my hotel and then went to Euro Disney. They built Euro Disney from seeing how many tourists Disney World brought they wanted to start a Euro Disney. Just this one place has made a whole difference in the economy along with the Eiffel tower by bringing many tourists which also improves the government. I arrived there at 10:15 right on my scheduled time. Today, I planned on just taking a walk around then park at first and seeing what was there. I ate lunch around 1:30 and then I went back into the park. After I had basically seen everything in the park I decided now that I could go to the castle and ride a few rides. At about 11:30 I left the park after the amazing firework show they had. Tonight I am spending the night at my aunt's house because she lives about 30 minutes from the park. Today was very fun and I can't wait for what tomorrow will bring.

**Day 3: Another day at Euro Disney** Today I arrived at the park around the same time that I did yesterday. Since yesterday was basically a walk around the park today was more of a thrilling day. I rode rides until I ate lunch around 1:00. The rest of the day I rode rides and visited some of the Disney characters. My most favorite ride of the day was the pirate ride by far. I got back to my aunts house and now I am about to go to sleep so that I can get up early in the morning to go to Berlin and meet my best friend, Daisey.

**Day 4: Going to Germany** This morning I left from Paris and arrived in Berlin. When I got there there was many mountains and rivers. In the country land there was a lot of plains for farming. Then, I met up with Daisey and we headed off to the Animal Park Munich in Hellabrunn. It is the world's first Geo-zoo that was built in 1911. After we had lunch we went to the Fun pool and therme in Erding, Munich. When we got to the pool and therme there were a lot of people partly because Germany has the largest population in the European Union. Its well- established security system come from its great government. Germany also attracts many immigrants each year. We went back to our hotel and are going to go to Freizet-Land Geiselwand tomorrow. **Day 5: Freizet-Land Geiselwand** When I got to Frezet-Land, basically the whole time Daisey and I rode the rides. While I was there I noticed that there were many people of different races and ethnicities, just like America. After we left I went back to my hotel and I am now sitting in the hot tub. Tomorrow I will be going to meet up with my friend Morgan to the Czech Republic.

Day 6: Going to the Czech Republic Today I arrived in the Czech Republic and met up with one of my old friends, Morgan. One of the things that I noticed was how many mountains and rivers are in the Czech Republic. First we went to the Prague Castle. One of the first things we did when we got there was look at all of the crown jewels and some of the other important things that are in the castle. The Prague Castle is one thing that is helping the economy from its big plunge a few years ago. We went out to eat and now we are sitting in the jacuzzi and are planning to out to the Prague Zoo tomorrow.

Day 7: Going to the Prague Zoo This morning Morgan and I arrived at the Prague Zoo. We looked around at all of the fascinating animals there for about 3 hours and then stopped to get drink at one of the many beer and refreshment stands that they had. The rest of the day we looked at animals and fed them and now we are packing up our stuff so that tomorrow I will be able to go to Romania with Morgan and Daisey. Good Night!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 8: Going to Romania When I got there I met up with my friends Daisey, Morgan, Juana, and Faith and we went to Aqua-Magic Mamaia. When we got their we noticed their culture was very traditional and a lot of the guys were wearing speedos. Also, many of their main industries contribute to Romania's very poor economy. Also this water park is a great place for many kids to hang out. Later, we went back to the hotel and are ready for another great day tomorrow.

Day 9: Another day at the water park Today we went back to the water park and we rode rides until non which then we ate lunch. Later that night we went back to our hotel so we can get up early and go to the Adele concert. Good Night!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 10: Going to the Adele concert

When we got to the concert and went to our seats. She sang Setfire to the Rain, Rolling in the Deep, Someone like You, and Rumor Has It. Here is Someone Like You ...media type="youtube" key="hLQl3WQQoQ0" height="315" width="560" That concert was great! A excellent way to finish my vacation in Europe!!!
