On the Eiffel Tower

On Sara's last Thursday out here we were nearly dancing up and down the streets with joy because the sky was very overcast. That meant we weren't going to be burnt to a crisp as we set out upon our daily activities. We just had to make the trip up to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and what better day than one that wasn't going to have a miserable wait in a hot and sweaty line. Instead we had a miserable wait in a hot and shady line. Actually, waiting in line for about two hours wasn't so bad, it was certainly worth the view and the ability to tell people that we climbed the Eiffel Tower. The ride up was great so long as you never look up or down or outside the lift. I really enjoyed every second of it, but I question if Sara was all too pleased. She was very brave. We got up there just as the sun was setting, and with all the clouds out yonder it made for some pretty pictures.
