Today started out as calm as ever, but it ended up being a beautiful and exhilarating day. Today was THE day that I walked up all of the stairs of the Eiffel Tower. Suprisingly, there were not that many stairs because you can only walk to the second level where you are then forced to take an elevator to the top. Regardless, I don’t think that I have ever been so nervous walking up stairs. Although, The Eiffel Tower is a solid structure, I still could not shake the feeling of falling thought the metal barriers to my imminent death. It was Definitely the greatest view that I have had of Paris and I am extremely happy that I was able to persuade poor sick Erin to climb with me.

As of right now Paris is a main terrorist attraction, so the city is on red alert. Thank you Sarkozy! Therefore, many of the main tourist attractions and the metro are supporting heavily armed troupers like this one. Isn’t his pose just fabulous?!

Erin and I had the best luck with lines, as in there was none. We walked right up to this ticket booth and started the stairmaster of a monument as soon as we arrived.
It’s the staircase that never ends…
A few photos from the first level of la Tour Eiffel. Needless to say we needed a small breather.

The second level. Is home to a gift shop, a small café, the world’s most romantic restaurant and of course twisted lines for the elevators.
(Lines. Lines. Lines)
