We went for a walk in the eye of the storm (the middle of the hurricane where it is not as windy and rainy as the rest of the storm) and saw a tree that fell down and brought the fence with it!!
All the bins have been turned upside down to prevent it being blown away and damaging something.
We also walked down by the river and could see the lines of leaves where the water had gotten up to. At one point the water had flooded the big road near by.
We didn't see this next bit but read it online, 2 cars got stuck in water on 10th ave and we are staying on 11th ave. It's very exiting.

Mila in New York
Today I am in a hurricane (But I am inside the apartment). Outside it is extremely rainy and across the road a tree fell down and the fire brigade had to chop it up and put the pieces on the side of the road.
I arrived here on Friday night just before parts of the city were evacuated.
We had a giant pizza, much bigger than my head (and it was only a medium).
I won't be able to post photos for a while until we get a computer. The iPad doe not like posting to the blog!

Paris
On Sunday we went out to dinner with a distant relative named Caroline. She is very nice.
On Monday we went to Mont Parnasse and saw the fantastic views of Paris without a big, ugly black blob in the middle of the view (Mont Parnasse). At the top it was windy.
In the evening we went on a cruise up and down the Seine and were informed about lots of monuments.
On Tuesday we went to the Rodin museum and saw the thinker and na few works by Urs Fischer.

The Loire Valley
On Thursday we hired a car and drove to a Château in the Loire Valley. The Château is called Chambord and it has lots and lots of turrets!!! Here are some photoes:



A pool table with no pockets
Taken from the middle of 2 staircases (they are like a DNA psiral)
looking from one spiral staircase to another and because we went up separate staircases we lost each other for a while
A path from the castle in a perfect strait line
some of the turrets
The turret in the centre of the building
Down the middle of the spiral staircases
A massive tapestry
They liked hunting ( there were 54 head things in this room)
Everyone was tired so they lay down
They hunted more
More turrets
An outside spiral staircase
Lots of old keys
A bed
One of the original turrets
The top of the original middle turret
after looking around we saw some magnums...
And finish them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the night we stayed in a youth hostel.
The next day we went to another Château called Chenonceau. Here are some photoes:
We made it to the centre of the maze
We found a massive red slug
I was looking at the lonely fish
We met a guy called Oscar
The garden was pretty
The tree was boongy
I fell in the pond
Ther were lots of cool ceilings
The arches on the water
Dad saw me through a window
There were lots of pots and pants and everyone was amazed
We liked the bread boards
Another cool ceiling
A cool window
There was a portrait of me at the Château!!!!!!!!!
