The Eiffel From the Inside

This year Sara and I were fortunate enough to have traveled to Washington DC and to Paris. In both cities we were very much overwhelmed with some of the amazing things that our fellow men have built. The Eiffel Tower, like the Washington Monument, is one of those buildings that as seen from pictures and even in person just can't really be comprehended until you get inside. Yeah, that makes about no sense. What I'm trying to say is that until you actually go through the insides of such towers, and make it to the top you really can't know the marvel that it really is. Can you believe that people could build such amazing things? Not only were they able to make the Eiffel Tower look absolutely breath taking from miles away, but they made it gorgeous and accessable on the inside as well. I don't know though, some of these elevators are pretty old looking, as though they were the originals. I wonder if they really are. Its neat that they were able to find a way to run an elevator up the slanted legs. I just can't quit being amazed by this building!! Its neat to see those famous chunks of Eiffel metal from the inside.
