In reply to Stephanie.

I think many places in Europe aren’t that exciting for teens. The things that I love so much just go right over a younger person’s head. LOL But cool that you look back with it in fondness.

Nope, no killing someone, but OUCH!

I’m glad you liked our Camel Balls video. That was a lot of fun to put together.

He hadn’t heard of LoL so will check it out. Thanks for the tip!

I love all of your stories! I went to the Eiffel tower when I was 13 with a group of schoolkids from the USA (I’m from Alaska). It was a program called People to People, and is pegged as a student ambassador program, but really acted more as a kid’s tour bus that would get you a half-credit of English if you wrote a journal about it. It was cool with me either way – I was in Europe!

The tower was beautiful. I loved seeing the complexity of the individual pieces that it took to build it. I wanted to walk up so badly, but I had to take the elevator with the group, and the wait was insanely long. (I retaliated by later walking up and down the 500+, oddly spaced, winding steps of St. Paul’s cathedral three times while my group was dallying at the top. A tiring and ineffective payback, I see now.)

We spent only thirty minutes or so on top of the Eiffel tower, but I was so bored up there; I started looking for coins to throw. So bad, but it was awesome to see things fall from that height. Later another student said that if the coins had hit anyone below, they would have died. I felt guilty for the entire month until I was able to get home and do a google physics investigation! “Whew!” The entire experience was great!

It’s great to see a parent just being good people with his kid, and helping him grow into who he really is. I’m glad to know you’re out there! I also saw your YouTube camel balls video, which is awesomely funny, and had me giggling at work. Good thing I work alone! Thanks guys! (Oh, also, you mentioned that Tigger plays Minecraft, which I’ve never tried; but League of Legends is a pretty fun online battle game he might like if he hasn’t heard of it yet. They do a pretty good job of keeping it friendly over there too. I like it because it’s like one of my partner’s favorite Starcraft mini games, but prettier, so we can play together. :P.)

I’ve STILL never been to Paris, not unless you count Disneyland…Sounds like I wouldn’t be eating around the Eiffel Tower, not unless someone offered to pay for me! And that’s so sweet that Tigger wanted to go there because it’s your favourite city. Super cute! And good on you for showing him that it doesn’t matter what others think of you. With each year that passes, I give less of a crap what others think, and it feels fantastic. I’d totally ride the carousel.

OK I’m going to come clean; I’ve never been to Paris and it is not on my list of priorities for city visits. The reason for this is quite simply-I don’t know why?! After reading your posts I am warming to the idea, and it is bizarre that I live so close and have visited France many times, but have not visited the capital! Anybody else feel the same?

In reply to wandering educators. I do, too! I know many people think the Eiffel Tower is underwhelming, but I really enjoy it.
