At last, you and KeeKee climb the tower - KeeKee proudly clutching the Meowna Lisa under her arm - you hop into the basket, and untie the balloon.\n\nDown below you see painter pooch Pierre, guard dog Bertrand, gardener duck Odilia and Elliot the seagull all waving goodbye!\n\nHave a good trip! Bon voyage!\n\nAu revoir! Good bye!\n\n[[<continue>|Until Next Time]]

Oh boy, it smells like crepes.\n\nYou and KeeKee walk around trying to find where the yummy smell is coming from.\n\nMaybe the place Odilia wanted to take you to.\n\nNow we wish we hadn't been so mean to her... maybe she could have taken us there.\n\n[[<continue>|Lost In Paris]]

You and KeeKee poke your head above the surface.\n\n*plip* \n\n*plip-plip*\n\nYou see coins are being thrown at you.\n\nBONK\n\nOw!\n\n"You're in the Trevi Fountain!" Alfredo said. "They're tossing coins to make wishes."\n\nYour wish is that they'd stop!\n\n[[<continue>|La Dolce Vita]]

You should meet amico mio - my friend - Alfredo," Emilia said.\n\n"He knows Rome like the back of his paw!"\n\n"So, what do you think?" KeeKee asks you. "Should we go meet Alfredo?"\n\n[[Yes, let's meet Alfredo]]\n[[No, let's explore on our own]]

You and KeeKee thank Emilia for her help, but decide to explore on your own.\n\n[[<continue>|As the afternoon sun]]

"Hmmph! Elliot says. "I'm disappointed that you would be so rude as a visitor in a foreign land."\n\n"Oh well" you think. "Can't make everyone happy."\n\nYou and KeeKee climb down the tower and enter the city.\n\nThere is so much to see and do.\n\nIt is all a bit confusing to you - to be honest.\n\nWish you spoke French at this moment as you’ve walked to a part of town where you have no idea where you are...\n\n[[<continue>|Lost In Paris]]

Montmartre is a one of a kind place full of cafes and shops.\n\nMany artists have studios and work in this area. Some famous artists include... Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Salvador Dali - to name a few.\n\nAcross the Artists' Square, Bertrand spotted painter pooch Pierre.\n\n"Pierre, mon ami!" Bertrand greeted him.\n\nShould we ask pooch Pierre to paint?\n\n[[No, no thank you.|No no thank you]]\n[[Yes, please paint us a Meowna Lisa]]

The French Police show up in a helicopter, pull you out of the basket and take you to prison. (Which by the way, "prison" is the same word in French).\n\nMaybe next time you'll be nicer.\n\nThis ends this adventure.\n\n[[Return To KeeKee Stories|Main Menu From Paris]]\n\n[[Done playing for now!|Choosatron]]

You are an excellent adventurer... taking in all that Rome has to offer.\n\nKeeKee has one more item on her list.\n\n"Finally, the Sixteenth Chapel," she said.\n\nYou look at Alfredo. He looks at you.\n\n"Where are the other fifteen chapels?" KeeKee asks.\n\n"It's the Sistine Chapel," said Alfredo.\n\n"Ohhhhhhhhh," said KeeKee.\n\n[[<continue>|Sistine Chapel]]

"Thank you so much," says KeeKee. "Thanks for being a great companion on this trip to France."\n\n"You've made this a great adventure!" KeeKee added.\n\nWould you like to...\n\n[[Visit Paris again?|Follow KeeKee into Paris?]]\n[[Visit Rome, Italy|Rome, Italy]]\n[[End the Game|Choosatron]]

You arrive at Notre Dame Cathedral. Everyone gazes up in awe. It is huge!\n\nNotre Dame towers above. With a huge circular "rose" stained-glass window, and two massive bell towers.\n\nSpaced on ledges are carved column supports and water spouts with funny faces.\n\n"Do you see the gargoyles?" said Odilia.\n\n"Let's get a closer look."\n\n[[<continue>|Climb Steps]]

You choose to stay in the balloon.\n\nThis might end up being a very boring adventure for you.\n\nYou wait many hours. The sun is setting and KeeKee returns... She is so excited for the day she just had. She has a portrait under her arms, and has had a wonderful time exploring the city.\n\nKeeKee unhooks the ballon from the top of the Eiffel Tower and you float up into the sky of on your next adventure!\n\nWould you like to...\n[[End the Game?]]\n[[Try Paris Again?|Paris, France]]\n[[Go to Rome, Italy?|Rome, Italy]]

You walk around for what feels like hours. The sun is setting, and it is starting to get dark.\n\nYou're both so hungry... and now tired...\n\nYou head back toward the Eiffel Tower and the balloon... and end up eating a hamburger at some crummy fast food restaurant.\n\nThey say it pays to be nice to others.\n\nThis adventure has ended. Do you want to...\n\n[[Try Paris again?|Take a look below the clouds?]]\n[[Fly the Balloon to Rome, Italy?|Rome, Italy]]

KeeKee’s Big Adventures

Thanks for playing!

Yum. \n\nNutella and Banana is KeeKee's favorite too!\n\nNice choice!\n\n[[<continue>|Eat Crepes]]

Back at the Cat Sanctuary, you are greeted with cheers and applause!\n\nEmilia sets up places for you, Alfredo, and the rest of the cats to eat - placing table cloths on the fallen columns creating make-shift picnic tables.\n\nShe pours wine glasses full of milk.\n\n"Buon appetito!" says an older cat wearing a red shawl.\n\n"Mangia!" exclaims a young orange kitty.\n\n"Salute to KeeKee" declares Emilia... and all the kitties raise their glasses thankful for the delicious dinner.\n\n[[<continue>|From me and Roma]]

You continue to explore the museum and see some amazing things.\n\nAfter a while, the gang decides you've seen enough art for today and leave the Louvre.\n\nYou decide to head up to Montmartre, the highest point in Paris.\n\n[[<continue>|The Steps A]]

Mamma Mia, this is a great choice! Benne!\n\nKeeKee reviews her map, checks her compass, and tests the wind.\n\nA few adjustments and the two of you are whisked high in the sky toward Rome!\n\nThis is going to be fun.\n\n[[<continue>|Look Out Below]]

"Is this a shelter for homeless kitties and cats?" asked KeeKee.\n\n"Si, si" answered Emilia. "This is the world-famous Cat Sanctuary!"\n\n"Mamma mia! I came from a shelter, too!" KeeKee said.\n\n"What brings you to Italy's beautiful capital city?" Emilia asked.\n\n"Well," KeeKee answered, "I've always wanted to..."\n\nVisit the Colosseum.\nStand in the old, old Pantheon.\nAnd see the Sixteenth Chapel.\n\n[[<continue>|You should meet]]

You grab travel books, and objects from within the basket of the balloon.\n\n"Oh dear!" exclaims, KeeKee.\n\nWhile you miss Elliot - who is pretty agile as a bird - the things you toss fall to the ground, bonk a few tourists on the head, and litter the ground beneath the Eiffel Tower.\n\n[[<continue>|The French Police]]

KeeKee puts on some swim gear and dives in.\n\nThe water looks great!\n\nYou continue to get hotter. Sweat is pouring down your face. You feel a bit woozy. Dizzy.\n\nYou start to sway a bit.\n\n[[Heat Stroke]]

"Wait a minute!" KeeKee exclaimed.\n\n"The MONA Lisa?"\n\nYou, KeeKee, Odilia and Elliot make your way through the crowd to get a closer look.\n\n"Do you have a question?" asked Bertrand, the security guard dog.\n\n[[No, we have no questions.]]\n[[Yes, we do have a question.]]

There are 387 steps to the top of the tower.\n\n"Let's go!" said KeeKee.\n\nDo you want to..\n[[Climb The Steps]]\n[[Stay At The Bottom]]

KeeKee, let's find a different landing spot.\n\nWith your advice, KeeKee takes the balloon up higher again.\n\n"Okay, we'll find a different spot" says KeeKee.\n\n[[<continue>|This looks like a good place to land]]

The Funicular whisks us up the 450 feet to the top of the hill.\n\nWe arrive at the base of white-domed Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. It is a beautiful and huge church.\n\nWow! From this height, we can see the entire city of Paris - including the Eiffel Tower in the distance.\n\nBeautiful!\n\n[[<continue>|Artist's Square]]

Ah, the classic jambon et fromage - ham and cheese. Like a croque-monsieur.\n\n"Crock monster?" said KeeKee.\n\n[[<continue>|Eat Crepes]]

Still giggling you all make your way down and head toward the Louvre Museum.\n\nOne of the largest museums in the world... You look at sculptures... and paintings... until you finally come to...\n\n[[<continue>|The Mona Lisa?]]

"Colosseum?" KeeKee asked.\n\n"That's where we want to go," said KeeKee, "but this huge building in in our way."\n\n"This huge building IS the Colosseum," Alfredo said. "The biggest theater ever built."\n\n"Big? It's COLOSSAL!," you exclaimed!\n\nAlfredo offered to show you two around.\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Follow Alfredo]]\n[[Explore Rome on your own|Continue On?]]

Well, that was a pretty good visit to Rome.\n\nThere is more to see... Do you want to...\n[[Try Rome Again?|Look Out Below]]\n[[Visit Paris|Paris, France]] or\n[[End the Game?]]

The creperie was a quaint little brown building, operated by a Chef Bear.\n\nThere were so many choices on the menu. And it smelled delightful.\n\nElliot ordered his usual salmon crepe.\n\n"I'll have jambon et fromage - ham and cheese, a croque-monsieur crepe," said Odilia.\n\n"A crock monster?" said KeeKee.\n\nYou study the menu, which type of crepe would you like?\n[[Nutella and Banana?]]\n[[Ham and Cheese]]\n[[No Crepe For Me]]

"Hmmph!" Odilia grumbles. "How rude... And to think I was going to offer to take them to my favorite creperie."\n\nHopefully you didn't upset Odilia too much.\n\nYou continue to walk through the gardens.\n\nSuddenly your nose begins to twitch.\n\n"What's that yummy smell?" KeeKee wonders.\n\n[[<continue>|Ignore Odilia 2]]

There are two ways to the top. Steep steps or the motorized Funicular (like a train car that goes uphill).\n\nBummer... the Funicular seems to be broken.\n\nFu-nick-you what?\n\n[[<continue>|The Steps]]

Rome looks beautiful from this height... The entire city spread out below you.\n\nKeeKee starts lowering the balloon for your landing.\n\nAs the ground comes closer, you can see a clearing in some ancient Roman ruins below.\n\nYou let KeeKee know...\n[[This looks like a good place to land]]\n[[You think you should land somewhere else]]

Ohh la la, Paris, France is a great choice.\n\nKeeKee adjusts the controls, the balloon picks up speed as it enters a different wind current.\n\n** Whoosh! **\n\nAs you start to go below the clouds...\n\nPOOMFF!!\n\n"Whoa!" shouted KeeKee. "What was that?"\n\nKeeKee suggests you peek out below the clouds and see what the noise was.\n\nDo you...\n[[Take a look below the clouds?]]\n[[Ask, KeeKee to look instead?]]

"Ciao, Peppe!" Alfredo said. "These are my friends. They want to try your pizza."\n\n"Yes, we'd like 23 pizzas with extra cheese, please," said KeeKee, "and extra *extra* anchovies!"\n\n"You must be very hungry!" said Peppe.\n\n"We sure are," KeeKee said with a smile. "Oh, and can you make them to go?" \n\nGreat... let's take the pizza's back to the Cat Sanctuary.\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Take the scooter]]\n[[Walk]]

KeeKee grabs her bag getting ready to climb down the tower...\n\nJust then a seagull wearing a brown beret and light blue scarf flies over.\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Ignore the Seagull?]]\n[[Talk to the Seagull?]]\n[[Throw Things At The Seagull?]]

The crepes were scrumptious!\n\nEveryone gobbled down every last bite.\n\n[[<continue>|Keep Exploring?]]

Alfredo reaches into his pocket and removes two small statues of the Colosseum.\n\n"From me and Roma," says Alfredo.\n\n"This has been the *best* day!" you and KeeKee declare.\n\nWith bellies full of yummy pizza, you and KeeKee head to the balloon.\n\nYou untie the ropes and begin to climb.\n\nYou wave goodbye.\n\n"Grazie mille, my friends!" you call out. "Thanks a million!"\n\n"Until next time!" says KeeKee.\n\nThe cats wave back.\n\nArrivederci! Goodbye!\n\nBuon viaggio! Happy Travels!\n\n[[<continue>|As she floated]]

Among the group of cats, a cute cat wearing a pink and brown striped shirt and tan apron greets you.\n\n"Benvenuto, Signorina!" said Emilia. "Welcome to Rome - the Eternal City!"\n\n"Grazie!" you and KeeKee say...\n\n"We see we've landed in the PURRfect place!," said KeeKee.\n\n[[<continue>|Is this a shelter]]

You wait at the bottom of the Cathedral.\n\nIt is beautiful from this vantage point as well.\n\nYou are approached by a mime who performs for you.\n\nYou wish he would stop, reach into your bag to get some money to tip him to leave.\n\nAs you look down, you get bumped on the head.\n\n[[<continue>|Wake Up In Balloon]]

No pizza?\n\nDisappointing as it is very delicious.\n\nOh well. "To each his own" as grandma used to say.\n\n[[Onward|Back at Cat Sanctuary]]

You walk into a room that seems as long as a football field.\n\nThe floor has elaborate tiled floors. And frescos - paintings on the walls - from floor to ceiling.\n\nBut the ceiling is what is really amazing!\n\nPanel after panel of masterpiece painting, featuring scenes from the bible... including the famous "Creation of Adam."\n\n"Splendido!" said KeeKee.\n\nShe could see why it took the amazing Michelangelo four years to paint the ceiling.\n\n(When you finish playing this Choosatron game, search for "virtual Sistine Chapel" online.)\n\n[[<continue>|Navona]]

**RUMBLE RUMBLE**\n\nYour hand is inside the Mouth!\n\nThe rumbling and noise... a garbage truck passing by!\n\nWhoosh!\n\nYou are safe!\n\nMakes you think... it is always better to tell the truth!\n\n[[<continue>|As the afternoon sun]]

KeeKee reaches into her messenger bag and pulls out mask, snorkel, and fins for both of you.\n\n"Looks like your size," KeeKee says.\n\nYou both put on your swim gear and jump in. Alfredo simply watches you two.\n\n*** SPLOOSH!! ***\n\nAhhh! The water feels delightful.\n\nbonk...\n\nBONK...\n\nbonk - bonk\n\nWhat the what?\n\nYou seem to be getting hit with something.\n\n[[<continue>|Coins]]

Ow! That hurt.\n\nYou wake up in the basket of KeeKee's balloon. KeeKee is watching over you. It is now dark.\n\n"Ouch, you got quite the bump. And, someone took your money." said KeeKee.\n\nWant to go on a different adventure?\n[[No way|Choosatron]]\n[[Yes, let's head to Rome|Rome, Italy]]

While massive on the outside - a huge round building... the inside is amazing.\n\nHumongous columns circle the room supporting a huge domed roof - the largest of its kind. But, a HUGE round hole in the roof 26-feet wide - called an oculus - lets light in.\n\n"Holey Moley!" you exclaim as you gaze up in awe!\n\n[[<continue>|Continue On?]]

Inside the gardens you, KeeKee, and Elliot admire the beautiful flowers. Odilia, the duck, says "Bonjour" - which means hello in French.\n\nDo you...\n[[Speak with Odilia]]\n[[Ignore Odilia]]

"Bonjour!" said Elliot the seagull. "Bievenue! Welcome to the City of Lights."\n\n"Merci!" you and KeeKee reply back. \n\n"It's been my dream to visit Paris," KeeKee continues.\n\nKeeKee goes on to explain, "I've always wanted to... Climb the Eiffel Tower (can check that off the list). Visit the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral. And, see the Meowna Lisa painting."\n\n[[Continue...|Elliot offers]]

Okay... here we go...\n\nAre you an honest person?\n[[Yes, I'm honest.]]\n[[No, I fib now and then.]]

The Eiffel Tower began to sparkle with the most beautiful, twinkly lights.\n\nYou all gaze up with delight!\n\nMagnifique!\n\nSo sparkly!\n\nBelle!\n\nTruly an amazing day!\n\n[[<continue>|Back At Balloon]]

"How spectacular your gardens are!" said KeeKee.\n\n"Merci beaucoup! said Odilia.\n\nYou, KeeKee and Elliot continue to walk through the gardens. \n\nBeautiful flowers of red, purple and yellow are abundant. Butterflies flitting and bumblebees buzzing.\n\nThe gardens also feature beautiful statues. And clear blue pools and fountains.\n\nIn a fountain to the left, a group of kids play with toy sailboats.\n\nSuddenly your nose begins to twitch.\n\n"What's that yummy smell?" KeeKee wonders.\n\n[[<continue>|Odilia Guides]]

Hello, Adventurer! We are so happy you have decided to join KeeKee - the adventurous calico kitty who travels the world in her hot air balloon - on an adventure today.\n\nYou and KeeKee are hovering above the clouds in your hot air balloon.\n\nKeeKee is wearing her red scarf and glancing at her travel maps. "Where would you like to travel to today?" asks KeeKee.\n[[Paris, France]] or\n[[Rome, Italy]]

Do you want to...\n\n[[Try again?|Main Menu From Paris]]\n[[Or end the game?|Choosatron]]

Wait a minute?\n\nYou feel dizzy.\n\nWhat's going on here?\n\n[[<continue>|Look Out Below]]

The group makes all sorts of funny faces.\n\nSmooshing with their hands, crossing their eyes, sticking out their tongues.\n\n"KeeKee, you definitely win!" Elliot said.\n\n(KeeKee did make quite a silly looking face!)\n\n[[<continue>|Head To Louvre]]

KeeKee invited Odilia to come along to the next stop on her list, Notre Dame.\n\n"I'd love to!" answered Odilia. "You *must* see the gargoyles!"\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Join the gang|Notre Dame]]\nand head to Notre Dame? Or...\n[[Stay behind]]\nmaybe get another crepe?

Alfredo explains, "Back in ancient times, gladiators rode in horse-drawn chariots. But today, many of us Romans ride on Vespas to get around our busy city."\n\n"Want to join me on a scooter ride through Rome?" asks Alfredo.\n\n[[Yes, take Scooter]]\n[[No, continue by foot|Continue On?]]

385... 386... 387!\n\nYou're at the top.\n\nThe view of Paris from this height is spectacular. You can see the entire city!\n\nThe gargoyles are funny to look at up close. Some look sad, some look angry, some look goofy.\n\n"Let's see who can make the funniest gargoyle face?!" said KeeKee.\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Try To Make A Gargoyle Face?]]\n[[Just Watch The Others?]]

You slowly put your hand near the Mouth of Truth. You begin to put your hand inside...\n\nSuddenly you feel the ground shake and hear a loud rumbling.\n\nUh oh...\n\nI thought you said you didn't tell lies!?\n\n[[<continue>|Garbage Truck]]

You slowly put your hand near the Mouth of Truth. You begin to put your hand inside...\n\nSuddenly you feel the ground shake and hear a loud rumbling.\n\nUh oh...\n\n[[<continue>|Garbage Truck]]

Oh well. I guess you don't have to have a crepe, but they sure are delicious.\n\nYou wait for KeeKee, Odilia, and Elliot to get their crepes and the gang moves on.\n\n[[<continue>|Eat Crepes]]

Whoosh, that was close.\n\nI guess we'll never know how honest (or not) you are.\n\n[[<continue>|As the afternoon sun]]

"My friend KeeKee is interested in a Meowna Lisa."\n\n"Oui, oui, KeeKee! Please sit down for me!" Pierre said.\n\nIn no time at all, he skillfully painted KeeKee here very own Meowna Lisa.\n\n"Merci beaucoup!" KeeKee said, thrilled.\n\n"It's lovely!"\n\n[[<continue>|Cruise With Painting]]

As the sun was setting in the sky, the friends hopped on a boat and cruised along the Seine River, back to the Eiffel Tower.\n\n"This has been a pretty good day!" said KeeKee.\n\n"I agree!" said Elliot.\n\n"But," added KeeKee, "I wish I could have seen the Meowna Lisa."\n\n"Maybe next time," said Odilia.\n\nYou and KeeKee hop off at the base of the Eiffel Tower, climb to the top, hop into the basket, and untie the balloon.\n\nBelow you see painter pooch Pierre, guard dog Bertrand, gardener duck Odilia and Elliot the seagull all waving goodbye!\n\nHave a good trip! Bon voyage!\n\nAu revoir! Good bye!\n\n[[<continue>|Until Next Time]]

"And now," Alfredo said, "I'm going to show you something *very* unusual."\n\nYou walk across a park featuring an ancient temple and fountain and across a busy street.\n\nYou arrive at what is called Bocca della Verita - the Mouth of Truth.\n\nIt is a huge, round, flat stone sculpture on a small marble pedestal. Carved on it is the face of a bearded man, or maybe it is a god. There are holes that go through for the eyes, the nostrils and the mouth is gaping open.\n\n"This use to be a sewer cover," Alfredo explains.\n\n"Some believe - when you put your hand inside the mouth - it will bit the hand of anyone not telling the truth."\n\nDo you want to put your hand in the mouth?\n[[Yes]]\n[[No]]

"Buongiorno," said Alfredo.\n\nYou meet Alfredo in front of a huge building that looks like an old stadium.\n\nHe is wearing a tunic with body armor, strappy sandals, a wide leather belt, wrist guards, and a helmet.\n\n"Is it Halloween?" you ask pointing at Alfredo's costume.\n\n"No, no," Alfredo laughed, "I am dressed like a Roman gladiator - our famous fighters from long ago. In our Colosseum, they were like today's rock stars."\n\n[[Colosseum]]

You, KeeKee, and Alfredo make your way through the streets of Rome each carrying 7 pizzas or so.\n\nBefore you know it, the smell of the pizzas has attracted a pack of wild dogs.\n\nYikes... there are dozens... and they look very VERY hungry. \n\nDespite Alfredo being a dog himself, he isn't able to reason with the critters.\n\nYou have no choice but to give them the pizzas.\n\nEmpty-handed, it doesn't make sense to return to the Cat Sanctuary.\n\nWhile you had a good visit to Rome, it is disappointing you weren't able to bring food back to the rest of the cats.\n\nYou wait until it gets dark and take-off in the hot air balloon.\n\n[[The End|Choosatron]]

Wow! This is quite a walk.\n\nBut, the exercise will do us good.\n\nWe finally arrive at the base of white-domed Basilica of the Sacre Coeur. It is a beautiful and huge church.\n\nWhoosh... let's catch our breath for a minute...\n\n\n[[<continue>|Artist's Square]]

As you peek below the clouds, you see that you’re high above one of the most beautiful cities in the world!\n\nParis, France!\n\nThe balloon is hooked on - of all things - the top of the Eiffel Tower!\n\nYou tell KeeKee that this looks like as good a place as any to park the balloon!\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Stay In The Balloon?]]\n[[Follow KeeKee into Paris?]]

KeeKee had one more item on her list.\n\nDo you want to join her?\n\n[[Yes, continue on.]]\n[[No, stop here.]]

You and KeeKee hop on the back of the scooter - pizza stacked very tall. \n\nAlfredo starts the engine.\n\nVrooommmmmm!\n\nYou zip down the busy streets of Rome, headed back to the Cat Sanctuary.\n\n"Careful, Alfredo!" shouted KeeKee. "We've got the Leaning Tower of Pizza back here!"\n\n[[<continue>|Back at Cat Sanctuary]]

Welcome back.\n\nYou and KeeKee are hovering above the clouds in your hot air balloon.\n\nKeeKee is wearing her red scarf and glancing at her travel maps. "Where would you like to travel to today?" asks KeeKee.\n\n[[Return to Paris|Paris, France]]\n[[Rome, Italy|Rome, Italy]]

"Yes, please!" KeeKee exclaimed. Let's get a crepe.\n\nSo Odilia led the way to the creperie.\n\n[[<continue>|Creperie]]

You passed out.\n\nFainted.\n\nThis concludes your adventure (for now) in Rome.\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Start over in Rome?|Rome, Italy]]\n[[Visit Paris, France?|Paris, France]]\n[[End the Game?]]

You depart the Sistine Chapel, still in awe.\n\nYou walk with KeeKee and Alfredo across the Piazza Navona, a huge city square with fountains, a merry-go-round, and more restaurants and shops than you can count.\n\n"You starting to feel hungry?" Alfredo asks.\n\n"When in Roma, you must eat pizza," said Alfredo.\n\n"Peppe's Pizza on the piazza is perfect," giggled KeeKee.\n\n[[Peppe's Pizza sound good to you?]]\n[[No pizza for me]]

"Merci beaucoup, my friends!" you and KeeKee waved. "Until next time!"\n\nAs you float...\n\nup into the sky...\n\noff on your next adventure!\n\n[[<continue>|Finale]]

Rome is such a great place to explore!\n\nAs the afternoon sun heated up the city, you begin to sizzle.\n\n"That pool looks refreshing!" KeeKee points to a pool of clear, blue, cool water.\n\nYou want to take a swim?\n[[Swim with KeeKee]]\n[[Don't swim]]

Elliot offers to show you and KeeKee around with your first stop... A stroll down the magnificent Champs-Elysees, one of the most famous streets in the world.\n\nYou reach the end of the street and the entrance to the majestic Tuileries Garden.\n\nDo you want to...\n\n[[Enter the Gardens?|Enter the Gardens?]]\n[[Head Somewhere Else?|Lost In Paris]]\n[[Return to the Balloon?|Stay In The Balloon?]]

First Alfredo led you to the Forum.\n\nThis part of the city features blocks and blocks of ruins, shrines, temples, and an arch. Signs of a prosperous civilization that once was.\n\n"This was once the center of the great Roman Empire," Alfredo continues. "Speeches, elections, parades - it all happened right here."\n\n"And now it's like a giant outdoor museum," said KeeKee.\n\n[[<continue>|Back Then Gladiators]]

As the sun was setting in the sky, the friends hopped on a boat and cruised along the Seine River, back to the Eiffel Tower.\n\n"This has been the *best* day!" said KeeKee.\n\n"I agree!" said Elliot.\n\n"But there is one more thing to see before you go."\n\n[[<continue>|Eiffel Tower Sparkling]]

We don't blame you. These are some of the best crepes in the world.\n\nYou order a second.\n\nA third. And a fourth.\n\nBefore you know it, you've had 7 crepes. While the next was even tastier than the last, you have a tummy ache.\n\nYou make your way back to the balloon, too full to tour the city...\n\n[[<continue>|Main Menu From Paris]]

"Okay, I'll take a look," says KeeKee.\n\n"Ooh la la! We made it to Paris! And looks like we can check the first thing off our list..."\n\nThe Eiffel Tower.\n\nThat "poomff!" noise was our balloon snagging the top of the tower.\n\n"This looks like as good a place as any to park our balloon! Let's go!"\n\nDo you want to...\n\n[[Stay In The Balloon?]]\n[[Follow KeeKee into Paris?]]

The group makes all sorts of funny faces.\n\nSmooshing with their hands, crossing their eyes, sticking out their tongues.\n\nYou do your best.\n\n"You definitely win!" Elliot said.\n\nYay!\n\n[[<continue>|Head To Louvre]]

Bertrand led the way across town, to the highest point in Paris... Montmartre.\n\nYou are quite the gang - You, KeeKee, Odilia, Elliot, and Bertrand!\n\nThere are two ways to the top. You want to take...\n[[The Steps]]\n[[The Funicular]]

"Why that's my favorite creperie!" Odilia answered. "Would you like to try a real French crepe?"\n\nDidn't KeeKee say something about wanting a crepe?\n\nDo you want to...\n\n[[Get A Crepe?|Get A Crepe?]]\n[[Or Keep Exploring|Keep Exploring?]]

"Always nice to see you," said Bertrand.\n\n"And you as well," replied Pierre.\n\nAfter taking a look around at the different paintings and styles of the artist... The friends decide to head back down to the city.\n\n[[<continue>|Cruise No Painting]]

You see below a clearing among the Roman ruins.\n\nAs you get closer you see a group of cats waving you in.\n\n"Look out belowwwwww!" you yell.\n\nSome of the cats are guiding in your landing. Among the fallen columns and old ruins of Rome, there are cats everywhere!\n\n[[<continue>|Benvenuto]]

The ground gets further and further away.\n\nAs you and KeeKee float...\n\n...up into the sky...\n\n...off on your next adventure!\n\nSee you soon!\n\nThe End!\n\nDo you want to...\n\n[[Visit Rome again?|Rome, Italy]]\n[[Visit Paris, France?|Paris, France]]\n[[End the Story?|Choosatron]]

You zip across town on Alfredo's modern-day chariot!\n\nYour first stop...\n\n"It's the Pantheon!" exclaimed KeeKee.\n\nFeaturing the largest non-supported dome of its kind in the world.\n\n"The outside is amazing, but wait till you see the inside," said Alfredo.\n\nDo you want to...\n[[Enter The Pantheon?]]\n[[Continue On?]]

You and KeeKee hop out of the fountain.\n\nLuckily you didn't get caught by the police. You're not supposed to swim in the fountains!\n\nAlfredo brings you to an outdoor cafe at the base of the Spanish Steps - an extremely wide set of marble stairs that leads from the square up to a church.\n\nHe hands you what looks like an ice cream cone.\n\n"When we Romans want to cool down, we go for a frozen treat, a gelato or a granita with cream" said Alfredo.\n\nYum.
