My trip to Europe
If you are fond of art, sightseeing and food ,Europe is such an idea place. I has been dreaming about visiting Europe since I went to the kindergarten. Last summer my dream came true. I spend two weeks with my parents to visit Italy, Switzerland and France.

Italy was a country with lots of places of interest, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Vatican Sistine Chapel , Milan Cathedral , Michelangelo Square. I was approaching the Leaning Tower of Pisa so close that I felt I could help make it bit straight , even with one of my hands . If you don’t believe, I can show you a picture of me with the Tower taken by my dad. Many magnificent buildings in Italy are often cathedrals because Italians always respect their religion and the “Son of God”-Jesus . The tour guide told us many famous artists, such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raffel . People from all over the world have been attracted to come to Italy by the fame of these Renaissance giants. Besides appreciating so  many fabulous masterpieces, Gelato was an Italian ice cream I had admired long time ago .I bought several flavors of Gelato in the same shop where the hero of famous movie “Roman Holiday” used to have. It tasted rich, silky and delicious.

It would just take two hours by drive from Milano to Switzerland. When the bus entered into Switzerland ,The peaceful grassland was everywhere with delicate houses, which shaped a huge landscape scroll. The bus stopped under the foot of the Mount Titlis . A crystal cable car took us to the top of the mountain, covered by heavy snow, even in hot summer . As a boy living in Canton, I couldn’t help throwing snowballs to fight with my parents.

My last stop was France .Louver Museum has collected many famous paintings and sculptures, including Mona Lisa, Venus, Goddess of Vivtory. The handsome French guide, who could speak Chinese fluently, elaborated those artworks to us one by one. Then we went to the Luxurious Versailles. It was a glorious and splendid palace where the French Kings lived and met with his ministers.

Two weeks went too fast to have enough time experiencing many exciting things. What an amazing and unforgettable trip in Europe! I had made up my mind to come back to this homeland of art, in other to realize my dream to learn how to be a great artist one day.Europe is worth visiting, will you?
