Entering the Walled City of Carcassonne
Part 1
I took the day off school to go to Carcassonne on Friday. It is a chateau fort. It is 1000 years old. It is a city surrounded by a wall of stone.

Part 2
We entered the city by a drawbridge across a wide moat and through a huge stone gate. Some walls are four metrers thick. In the city the winding cobblestone streets were very narrow and the shops were very old and low.

Part 3
Walking on the Battlements
We walked down ten winding cobblestone streets and then there was: the castle. In the castle is a museum, in the museum is a gift shop. In the gift shop are weapons and shields. We walked on the battlements of the castle. It was so much fun. I think everyone should get the chance to go there. I really enjoyed it and I hope that everyone else does too.

THE END
My Dear Sir Sage:
Wow! What a spectacular tour of Chateau Fort. Winding cobble street look very interesinng and I would have enjoyed walking with you. So you have to walk through ten such streets? How long did it take to reach the gate? Your picture as a knight I liked the most and should scare an any enemy. but I do not think that you have any enemy. You have taken good photos and done good explanation also. I miss you Sir Sage. I can hardly wait for your secong log. with love—Ba
