Sunday in Paris - scootering and antique cars en route to the American Library

The American Library in Paris
Lots of antique cars were driving the streets of Paris Sunday.


Dear Friends,
Yesterday, I went to the American Library in Paris.  As we scootered through Paris we saw these cool old cars.  The Library is situated near the Eiffel Tower.  They are having a young authors fiction festival in which my English teacher has entered all of our class.  Ernest Hemingway used to work at this library.    You should check it out.  A bientôt!
