…
we went crazy, we originally went only to see the bigies, Mona Lisa, Venus de
Milo, Napoleon’s Coronation and a few others but honestly spent about 3 hours
looking through a majority of it all and man it was just completely MASSIVE! We
kept saying to each other, can you believe this was someone’s house? It was so
cool and I think everyone must see it in their lives…..the Mona Lisa was
actually bigger than people made her out to be and it was amazing to be able to
see it in person! It is definitely different from pictures, so awe
inspiring!...
…after an hours or so we headed off to the Arc de Triumph…and of course by way of the Champs Elysees, the biggest shopping street in paris….it was wonderful (good thing I had Paolo or I could’ve done some serious damage….when we reached it, it was amazing….just so SO big!....we walked under through the tunnel beneath the roundabout (surrounding it – where the Tour de France isJ)
we sat and just marveled really….took some more people watching before I decided
I needed a good soda from MickeyD’s to wake me up (I was tired from a mix of
not good sleep, lots of great sun, and traveling oh! And really little water
haha)…
…se
we were off again and it was NUTS!...we stood in line for the most expensive
soda ever!! But it was soooooooooooo perfect!...we then set off to the Eiffel
Tower to just hang out and do and early dinner before the time we had tickets
to actually go up inside it!!
…it
was a good wander, and when we got there it was the best people watching! A fantastic dance crew too J
after a bit we went down to the tower and for some different sandwiches, this
time I had a “Croquet Monsiuer” – ham and cheese grilled cheese sandwich,
covered in more melted cheese…it was so freaking good!!...when it was finally
our tune we went up and first let me tell you, its so so so worth to book early
tickets online, you skip the line ENTIRELY!....so great not sure how much more
expensive they are than at the tower but we still only paid 13euros to go up to
the tip top!..
…so
basically we by passed everyone in the GIANT line, breezed through the
security, and really only waited a few minutes for an elevator and then it was
just a change of elevators at the 2nd floor before getting all the
way to the summit! And goodness the view was mind blowing and breath
taking!...it was so amazing just thinking of where we were at and how high up
we were! It was fun to pick out what we knew or had visited already, the Arc,
Notre Dame, the Louvre, and tomorrows journey, the Church of Saint Coeur….J
….after
spending a long time at the top, we took the elevator down to the 2nd
level to look around, marvel some more and take more pictures J….i
said a few more thousand times how much I am in love with the Eiffel
Tower,,,and then we got to see the light show go off at 9pm J
it was so beautiful and magical!! Ahhhh….i totally love that place J….
J
…after the lights we headed down to the ground (elevator wait took quite a while)….grabbed crepes again (I am also in love with those) and metroed back to the hotel….marveling the whole ride about all the incredible things we got to see today!....truly it was an amazing day!
