On day six of our vacation to Paris, we took a short train ride to Disneyland Paris. I had started feeling sick the day before, but I felt a little better on this morning. Since I didn't want to miss the Disney day (and since I had already shelled out the money for our tickets) I decided to go ahead and go to Disneyland with everyone else. Disneyland Paris was nice- but in my opinion, it cannot touch Walt Disney World. Not even close. Still, the kids were thrilled to be at Disney. We rode some of our favorite rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, Small World, and the Haunted Mansion. Although theses rides were similar to the rides in Orlando, there were some differences, and it was neat to pick up on those. We also rode Thunder Mountain. Owen was tall enough to ride the coaster this time. He was so excited not to have to sit out, and he loved the ride. We also went on some rides that we do not have in Orlando. I didn't see as many characters as I would have liked, but we did see Mickey. It's not a trip to Disney without a picture with Mickey. The whole park was beautiful and was decorated for the Christmas season. It was a pleasant trip, and I probably would have liked it better if I hadn't lost my voice and started feeling like complete crap halfway through the day. We left the park arond 3pm and made our way back to Paris, where I (no surprise) climbed right back into bed because my fever had come back. Brian was so sweet and went to the pharmacy for me. He told the pharacist what was wrong, and she went and got some kind of medicine from the back. Through research I have learned that the active ingredient in the stuff that she gave me is a mild opiate that is commonly used in our country to help heroin addicts overcome their addiction. Apparently, it also makes a pretty good cough suppressant. Anyway, you can't get this stuff over the counter in the U.S.- cause I've looked. I will say that this medicine was the bomb, and it made me so much better- fast.
