One of the first things a tourist has to do in Paris is to
see the Eiffel Tower. That's what I thought, anyway, so the first whole day in Paris I
jumped on Le Metro and exited at a spot in the general area. As I approached the tower, I
could see it looming above the trees; it looked a bit small, though. |
That is, until I was actually
climbing those hundreds and hundreds of stairs. Huge! Looking down from a level or two up,
the people look very, very, small. |
Once I'm
up here, though, I can see across the Seine and see a large section of Paris to the North;
to see more, I would have to go look out from another direction. Hey, I can see my hotel
from here... nope, I guess not quite. |

Wow, in this hotel they even brought you breakfast in bed! Of
course, it was only a baguette and a cup of hot tea, but just the thought of it...

I decided not to actually go inside Le Louvre this time. |
