E: welcome back! How was your vacation?
T: it was fantastic, but I'm glad to be back! Being a tourist is really tiring!
E: where did you end up going?
T: because it's off-season, we got a really good package deal to Paris, so we went there.
E: I've always wanted to go to Paris. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world! Did you go to the top?
T: that was the first thing we did. I have a few pictures. Do you want to seet them?
E: sure. What's this one a picture of?
T: oh, that's a picture of me on our fourth day of travelling. I'm standing next to a famous founation in the centre of the city.
E: you don't look very happy in that picture.
T: no ,by that time, I was sick of sightseeing. I had had enough of art galleries, cathedrals, fountains, statues, and palaces!
E: so what did you do?
T: we spent that afternoon walking around a flea market. We had a few coffees, watched a movie, and went for a swim in the pool at the hotel.
E: my travel agent always seminds me to plan a day of relaxing for every 3 days of sightseeing. Did you go to the Louvre?
T: of course! You can't go to Paris without going to their famous art gallery! I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was though.
E: that's what everyone says! I can't wait to see it for myself some day.
