A and B go to Paris

Eiffel Tower climb

February 22, 2008 · 1 Comment

Today we got to see both the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel tower. First we saw the Arc de Triomphe which was HUGE. The faces of it were beautiful carvings into the stone. We walked through it but not up into it (our museum pass days had ended) because the price was a little high. After that we rode the metro to the Eiffel Tower. At the second floor the view was incredible but the really nice view was at the top. At the top we could see for miles and it felt like Paris was so small. After we got down we went to Trocadero square and took a picture of the Eiffel Tower at night.

looking at Wuhan

After last week when we went to the Eiffel Tower to find police and firemen evacuation the tower, we returned and visited all three levels.

Because we wanted to see it lit and unlit we arrived awhile before sundown. It was still light enough to see.

At the very top is a frieze showing which direction to look to see various cities. We looked for Wuhan.
