Persuasive Paper -- Everyone Should Come To Lyon

#21 Maddie

    Everyone should come to Lyon.  Everything about Lyon is great.  Well, almost everything, maybe not the climb up the 80 steps to our apartment everyday, but even that is worth it!  One of the reasons Lyon is so cool is because everyone plays my favorite sport here-soccer.  And, when I say everyone, I mean everyone!  When my ball gets away from me at the park, an old lady taps it back with her cane!!!  When a guy, probably 25, walks by, he does all these cool tricks with my ball.  When we go to the grocery, the man who works there passes the ball with me, inside the grocery!!!
    Another great thing about Lyon is the food.  I love the baguettes and pastries from our favorite Boulangerie.  Just the smell as I walk inside makes my mouth water!  The pizza here is also very good.  It has delicious stringy cheese that all comes off when you take a bite and very thin crust that makes it not as filling as at home, so you can stuff yourself with it.  But, you might not want to try tripe, which is intestines.  Even though it is a traditional Lyon food, I won't try it!!!   Lyon also has some great sights to see including some awesome churches, the ancient Roman ruins of a coliseum, and some great views of the whole city. 
    One other great thing about Lyon is there are tons of playgrounds, and none of them are like the ones at home.  There is a shipwreck playground with tube slides, and one with all wobbly, spinney, and bouncy things along with cool climbing stuff.  There are lots of other cool playgrounds here. Lyon is great, and everyone should come!
