England

Hey,

I’ve just been to England and it was great! I went to three places in England; The Doctor Who set, Highclere Castle, and Buckingham Palace. The Doctor Who set was amazing. I actually got to see everything and since Doctor Who is my favorite show that was pretty amazing. Then I went to Highclere Castle. This is the set of Downton Abbey, another one of my favorite shows. This was awesome because not only did I see the beautiful castle, but I also saw the Earl and Countess. Highclere also has historical significance in the sense that it housed and still does house an Egyptian exhibit because the 5th Earl explored the Pyramids of Egypt. He also helped to find the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Then I went to Buckingham Palace. Though I didn’t see the Queen, I did see Kate Middleton which was pretty cool. I’ll send you another post card from my next destination which will hopefully be Scotland. Bye For Now,

Scotland

Hey,

So I was just in Scotland and it was really awesome. I went to three places. These places were Loch Ness, West Highland Lochs, and Balmoral Castle. I wanted to visit Loch Ness because it looked like a really beautiful place to visit. When I got there I was right. It was really beautiful and there were no monsters(haha). Then I visited West Highland Lochs. I wanted to visit West Highland Lochs Because it was in Downton Abbey and it looked like a really beautiful castle. There were some great paintings. After that I visited Balmoral Castle. I wanted to visit Balmoral Castle because I saw it in Doctor Who and, even though I didn’t see a lot of it in Doctor Who, I still wanted to see the grounds. Well my next place will be France.

Till Then,

France

Hey,

So there are going to be a lot of Doctor Who references in my postcards. I was just in France. The first place that I went was the Musee d’ Orsay in Paris. The Musee d’ Orsay is one of the most famous art museums in the world. The main reason that I wanted to come here is because I saw it in one of my favorite episode of Doctor Who. The other reasons is that I really love art . The next stop was Versailles. Versailles was also seen in one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes. Versailles has some historical importance as well. During the French Revolution this palace was built by Louis XIV. This was not only a palace, but a symbol of the wealth of the French Aristocracy. The next stop was the Eiffel Tower. The reason that I traveled here was because everyone was talking about it and I figured that it was finally time for me to go. Well my next and last stop is China.

China

Hey,

So I just went to China. It was amazing. First I went to the Forbidden City in Beijing. It was so crowded, but when I finally got in, there was beautiful artwork and some pretty extravagant architecture. I wanted to go to the Forbidden City because it is a very commonly known place in China which people always say is amazing. After that, I went to the site of the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. We had been learning about this for a long time in school and I finally decided to go. The Terracotta Warriors was in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. And then, I finally went to The Great Wall. The Great Wall is on the northern China border that is near Mongolia. It was very useful for protection when on the Silk Road. The Great Wall is also 13,171 miles long. I thought that it was pretty cool. Well that’s it for my trip.

Bye,
