The Eiffel Tower

Posted by: Emma on: November 7, 2009

continued from France…

The day after we arrived, we came to the Eiffel Tower. It was HUGE and daunting. Street vendors were drawn to the area with all the tourists, and took to pestering us. It felt like we waited a lifetime in that ticket line. It wasn’t too bad, though. We chatted with a honeymooning Austrailin couple.

            We finally got in the elevator, and went up… and up… and up. We filtered out of the small elevator and took in the view. Paris was a pretty city. All the buildings blended together, until your eyes would come across a church, with a gold top. In the back, you could see Mont mart, the only hill in Paris. It felt like the whole city was laid out before me… and technically, it was.IMG_0796IMG_0800

I remember how cold it was up there! It was a remarkable view.

I saw the Eiffel Tower as we walked in an endless line at the airport on our return from Italy. I wanted to see it up close but there was no time. I know you have lots of wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing.

did you get to eat at that restaurant inside the tower?

no we didn’t, but we dined at a nearby lunch joint. Bon Apetit!
