This week has been a busy one for boomer! He started off his weekend in Italy at a pasta making class in Arezzo!
He learned how to make 3 different kinds of pasta: Ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese, Tagliatelle noodles, and Gnocchi! They were all so delicious he made a happy plate! Boomer had to have is tummy full for his next adventure to a new country!!
Next stop for Boomer was Paris, France!
Bonjour! The most challenging thing for Boomer was he had to switch from speaking Italian to French! Boomer had just gotten the Italian language down so he struggled with switching to French! Mine and Boomers most famous quote while in Paris was "grazie, merci, si, oui (we)!" It was a struggle!
The next day was packed with plans in Paris for Boomer! He saw many different historical monuments and local famous attractions in Paris. First stop was the Arc de Triomphe. Unfortunately it was still under construction but that didn't stop Boomer from taking in all its glory!
The Arc de Triomphe was built to celebrate Napoleon's victories, which is now a powerful modern icon. The Arc is 164ft high, 147.6ft wide, and is decorated with magnificent sculpted reliefs.

Boomer was really excited about visiting one of Paris' most local famous attractions the Love Lock bridge. Boomer visited the Pont des Arts Bridge which is the section for committed love.
There is another bridge in Paris, the Pont de l'Archeveche, designed for your lover. The Pont des Arts is for a love that never dies. The Pont des Arts or Paserelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. It links the Institute de France and the central square of the Palais du Louvre. Boomer's love with Paris is never going to die!

The final stop for boomer of the day, and the one he was most excited for, was the Eiffel Tower!
The Eiffel Tower was built by Gustave Eiffel, hence the name. When he completed the tower in 1889 it became the tallest building in the world (until 1930) and weighs about 7,000 tons!
