From the Top

I finally made it to the top of the Eiffel tower but first I took a little time to hang out in the park just below the tower.

It's been a while since I've seen grass so soft and green. Most of it is fenced in...I guess that's how they keep it so soft and green.
There is this really cool peace exhibit at the far end of the garden. This glass wall has the word 'peace' etched into it in pretty much every language you could ever imagine. So salam!

Here I am...along with some random Chinese guy...at the top. When you don't know what you're looking at it just looks like another city. And it was really cold up there.

Then it was sunset and we all know how much I love sunsets. I sure did stand out there for an hour absolutely freezing and waiting for the colors to come. It was great!

This year they've had the tower lit up blue at night because France is the president of the EU. But for some reason on this night they lit it the normal way and I like it so much better than the blue.
