| two Americans in Paris |
|
After a lovely Parisian-style breakfast we took the Metro to the
Arc de Triomphe. Just pictures outside this time -- no need for a hike up some more stairs.
Then a walk down the
Champs-Elysees with a detour into the
Grand Palais. We ended our morning's walk at the
Place de la Concorde. Back to the hotel for a rest and a late lunch/early dinner... and then out again to the
Tour Eiffel!

| it's really very huge... and is painted brown |
The lines we're soooo long for the lift (only one was working) so we walked up -- no biggie really. It's only 704 steps. Good thing we'd skipped the trek up the Arc.

| such a cool experience |
We stayed up there until dark and then came down, walked across the river, and sat with a bunch of other people listening to a street musician and watching the light show until late. It was just a really cool time and I felt so genuinely touristic in a really good way.
