Louis in London

London and Spain

Hi my name is Louis and I am 11 years old.

Photo: Kids on beachI have a twin sister called India and we live in the south-west part of London. My mum is English and my dad is French, so I am bilingual. My dad lives in Spain next to Madrid and has a holiday house in the south of Spain in a town called Nijar. There we have to rent a car, which really isn't worth it because no car can get up to the house. The road is too steep and too small.

In Spain what you eat is really different from England. Breakfast would be at 12 o'clock and you would eat toast with ham and tomatoes on it. Lunch would be at 3:00 or 4:00 PM and dinner at about 10 or 11 o'clock at night.

Photo: Boy and dadIn England, you would just eat cereals and bread. I go to a French school in  London and normally go skateboarding after school. On the weekend so skateboarding is probably the only sport I do.

Photo: Spanish beachI'm going to America for my first time this summer and I'm looking forward to it. I'm going from San Francisco to Las Vegas. I've been in countries around Europe like Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and France, but never in America.
