It was a beautiful morning when we set off to see the Eiffel Tower. We took the Metro to Bir-Hakem. The train comes above ground just in time to get a great view of the Eiffel Tower up close, right out your window. We hopped off and grabbed an almond croissant to eat for breakfast as we walked. As luck would have it, we didn't really know where we were going, so we cut through a very upscale block and came out in a little park where we had a great view. Nobody else was there because they all entered through the big, main street. It was a fun place to admire the view. We got there before the tower opened, which was an excellent idea because there was no line. When we came out, the line was hours long. We were afraid the very top would be too scary, so we bought tickets for the second floor, which is still WAY up there! Getting in the elevator was so exciting! This is the main thing the girls had been dreaming about! Once we got to the second floor, we all decided that it wasn't that scary, and that we could come all the way to Paris and only go halfway up the Eiffel Tower. So we bought the other half of the ascension ticket and continued...
