The Dalmatian cost is a cost along the waters of Croatia. Croatia is known for The Dalmatian cost. Dalmatian dogs came from there. We went to Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik.
Chapter 2, Split
Spilt (S-p-l-ee-t) is our first stop. Split has a little walled out city.
Paris Paris is a city filled with sights and lights. One of Europe's fashion capitals too. In this entry you go from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre and off to Arc de Triomphe. Through famous castles along the way, fun in Disneyland, Muse d'Orsay, and more!
Eiffel Tower The Eiffel Tower is in many movies, from 2012 to Ratatouille. The Eiffel Tower put on a fantastic light show every hour for five minutes.
From the top Eiffel Tower you can see all of Paris every corner of it, we (Guy, Dad and I) went up to the top. Mom and Audrey went up to the second staging. The Eiffel Tower was the world's tallest building in 1925. In the summer the Eiffel Tower takes hours of waiting in line to go in. You would have to wait from lunch to dinner or breakfast to lunch! We didn't have to wait in line.
The Eiffel Tower was created by Mr. Eiffel who also helped design the train station that we stayed by in Budapest. The Eiffel Tower has a symmetry line, also a view. I think he even helped construct the Statue of Liberty.
Notre-Dame
Notre-Dame is the cathedral you know by heart, from the story of a hunch-back that rings the church bell inspired the writer Victor Hugo to write the story. His name was Quasimodo. A story by Victor Hugo, called “The Hunch-back of Notre-Dame”. A Disney classic too. We saw the The Great Bell that they usually use. The worlds most photographed gargoyle, and more. In the church there was a original stain glass window, and a newer stain glass window.
Louvre
The Louvre is where the famous Mona Lisa lays. Other Leonardo Davinci pantings too.
I am leaving Croatia on Monday (My time, around 1:50 in the morning on Monday your time.) It is going to be very sad. Luckily, we are not going back this early! We still will have a full month to travel Europe on a eurail pass! First stop Pari!(Paris) Euro Disney in Pari is second to tour. The Eiffel tower is on the first stop. After that Florence! That's pretty much of all of our plans so far!
Karnival (C-ar-n-E-v-a-l) is a big party before Lent. It has many floats and masks. A "pust" too. There were tons of floats. There was songs, cannons (they did not hurt anybody!),animals, animals that smash TVs, and more! There is a traditional thing that they do. In Matuji (a place not far from Rijeka.), they have 800 people dressed as animals and a bell tied to their butts. In the Rijeka Karnival they have more.
The Bell Ringers.
Pinocchio parade part
An animal.
Chapter 2, Pust
The pust (p-oo-s-t) is a fake person that hangs up on a post. You put your problems on it and on a specific day they burn your problems on the pust and the pust.
Here are some reasons why to visit my blog and why to visit Europe:
I've got a new page on my blog
It's got tons of new things that are not as boring as a log
I know you will like the page
It will have a lot of cool stuff that will last as long as an age
About Europe it shall be
If you know about my blog than you know about me
I can tell if you have been to my site
If you lie I will get madder than you when you get a bug bite
Comment if you can
Sometimes to catch a train we ran
Europe is my favorite place
My brother misses his best friend forever grace
I hope when you go you like it more than I do
You can go all over Europe if you want to
I know you will like the food
It will probably set you in a good mood
If you really like Europe
When you go there you will like it so much that you're eyes will tear up
You might miss home there
Your sisters and brothers will send you stuff with care
I will miss you way more than you think
My toes might even turn pink
Europe is very cool
I recommend it to you because it will always rule!
Venice is a romantic place with many canals. Venice has many canals.Venice is a place where many famous people visit. Venice is in Italy. We rode on a Gondola. We had a Rick Steve's audio tour downloaded to our MP3. We saw the Frari Church, St. Marks Basilica, The Grand Canal.
Elisabeth otherwise known as "Sissy". Was the empress of the Austro-Hungarian empire. At 16, Elisabeth had difficulty adapting to the strict rules of the Hapsburg court. Sissy got assassinated in the end. The Empress was buried in the Imperial Crypt in Vienna's city centre.
Wein is what the German call Vienna. I think it is pronounced (vein). Wein is the German word for wine. German words are a lot like English. Here are some examples:
In English:
Come here my children
In German: Komm her meine Kinder
Pronounced: comen here mine kinder
Did you know that 1/4 of English is German?
The Austrians do not speak Australian (don't get confused Austria is in Europe). The Austrians speak German. Wien is in Austria! Just so you know!
We stayed in Budapest. Buda and Pest are separate places. There are some bridges that cross between Buda and Pest.We went to the Elizabeth Bridge and my favorite one "The Chain Bridge"! The Chain Bridge has chains on it and lions at the entrance to guard the Chain Bridge! It has 2 arches!
These pictures are all of the Chain Bridge!
Part 2 BLUE DANUBE CRUISE
On new years eve we took a cruise, the place we were cruising was on the Blue Danube! It was a............. blue moon (a blue moon is the second full moon in a month!)! A blue moon on the blue Danube in a new year!
The cruise was great and we learned a lot! It turned in circles under the bridges!
Here is the coolest picture of it!
Part 3 WHEN YOU GET CHARGED 10,000 FOR CAR GAS
Think it is a lot? Ha, Ha! 10,000 forint! Here is the American exchange rate:
10,000

2
zero's

That's about how much it costs!
Here is a picture of the forint!
Part 4 BIG BUDAPEST!
Budapest is the capital city of Hungry. The city covers an area of 525 square kilometers! It also has a "Hero's Square". The "Hero's Square" is a place where they have statues of hero's. In Christmas time the whole city is lit up! Imagine how beautiful it is. Luckily, I have a picture of it on the new years! Shown on the other parts before part 4.
Part 5 A LITTLE TASTE OF HOME!
Almost all of the people in the world like McDonald's, right? Well, we went to one of the swankiest McDonald's! Actually, it did not cost that much! It is very European style with a nice chandelier and two floors.
Very clean with lots of plants.
Part 6 MEDIEVAL RESTAURANT
We went to a medieval restaurant with large quantities of food. It said on the brochure, "Best food in the largest quantities". They were not kidding! Drinks were served in medieval mugs, there was a show and other entertaining stuff. The entertaining stuff was a fire-swallower, a strongman and also a balancing man. To top that off, there was even a good show and a belly dancer. Watch out all you boys!
Balancing a glass on a sword and throwing it up in the air?!
Picking up a metal circle thingy?!
The fire-swallower was very good at swallowing fire!
We invited him over for Christmas. We went to motovun and Pazin. Motovun had a very swanky restaurant that was very pricey and josh paid for it all! Josh is probably around 20 Or 30. Motovun has a graveyard, Court
yard and more.
Pazin had a cave that inspired jules verne to wright "Journey to the center of the earth". Pazin's cave had a water fall too! It made it look like "The entrance to hell". There was plenty of room to play and on the bridge if you look to the right then you see a beautiful green lake! Green means that the lake is clear!

The American ambassador held a party at his house for Christmas. We made cookies, ate some stuff and visited Santa! We all got presents, I got a band thingy to make bracelets with, Audrey got a jump-rope, Guy got a rubeix-cube! We where one of the most well-dressed family's. My favorite part was making cookies, because you could decorate them with any thing you wanted! There were different shapes and sizes of cookies!!!!!!! I liked the stars the best.
Santa lost his boot
It went through the shoot
Santa was concerning
That the fire was burning
All the kids where good
The way they should
He had to drop some things
Like a doll with wings
The presents were wrapped
As the children napped
The house was quiet
There was no kid named Wyatt
Climbing back up the chimney
No more presents not any
Then he jumped on the sleigh
Then he went a way
Leaving his boot behind
He did not mind
Riding out into the night
Rodolph was his only light
Here on December 5th you get presents in your shoes! I got a dog LPS (Littlest Pet Shop) I named it happy because it was the happiest and it was also had a blow dryer. Josie got a cat LPS and named it Jess it came with a hair brush.

When Christmas Comes
When Christmas comes
The snow blows hard
I feel my mothers guard
Santa comes down the chimney
presents he drops many
A bite of chocolate
A sip of milk
it tasted like silk
When Christmas comes.
The mining shaft was very dark and we could only see by the lights. There was one time in the mining shaft were there is no light because it burned out so my dad had to use his palm light and others used cell phones.
It seamed like there was rail road tracks on the bottom of the picture. It was actually rail tracks for the cars to move the oar. Are shoes got very dirty and we wanted to clean our shoes because in between the rail tracks there was sand and dirt. We also had to duck sometimes because it got so small. The other thing is that we had to where helmet so that we would not get hurt when we bonked our heads.
The museum we went to also had a lot of pottery. The pots are used for storing olive oil, wine and more. This pottery is called amphora. Amphora is a type of ceramic vase. Ancient Greeks and Romans used them for transporting many things.
Some Mediterranean people still use amphora's. The amphora can be painted.
The town of Rovinj gets very crowded in the summer. In the town of Rovinj, there is an arch with a Turkish head on one side and a Venetian head on the other side. The one on the top is the Turkish head and the other one is the Venetian. A lot of people like to fish in that area, in fact, I bet most of the people are fisherman.
There is a lot of fisherman in the town of Rovinj. I do not think there is any room to swim. It is a egg shaped island so boats can park around it.
There is even a boat here. It is a very old boat on display in front of the museum. It is a flat bottom boat used by fisherman, it is very old. In the corner there is a police car and it parked there because the road was too narrow to drive through.
Here is Ljubljana (l-oob-ley-ane-a) City. This is the Dragon Bridge and the picture is my dads favorite picture, as it is even Dads new desktop background on his computer! We also saw a castle that Queen Elizabeth II (Queen of England) went last year to visit.
The town is called Hum (h-you-m) . It is not abandoned, there is a population of 16 people. It is true it is the smallest town in the whole world!
It is in Croatia near a very good restaurant that we went to in the nearby village of Kotle!

Right here is a lamp post. The locks mean that the couple that wrote their names on it were in love. Then the owner of the lock (the couple) would throw their keys into the water.
