When in Paris...

Guess what I saw today!!!! Oh yeah!

The Eiffel Tower

Wow, what a day! My friend and I spent the better part of it, checking out a couple of the most famous structures in France, if not all of Europe. First, we took the stairs up the amazing Eiffel Tower (yes, the stairs - now that's a darn good workout! hee hee!), where the views of Paris are neverending...

 

Then we hoofed 'er over the Seine to the Arc de Triomphe....

Spiral staircase.

Again, we took the stairs... this time to the top of the Arc... which was a slightly dizzying process.... but very cool!

Enjoying the sun!

By the time the sun went down, it chilled off pretty good... Ironically, I think it is colder here than it is back home! But in spite of the unexpected cool temps, we had a fabulous day. And tomorrow will be more of the same, with a trip to The Louvre in our plans. Then we fly to Barcelona and begin the real adventure - driving down the Mediterranean coast! I am looking forward to losing the tooque and gloves....

Cheers!
