The Eiffel Tower


Yesterday we went up the Eiffel Tower with our Auntie Terri.  We had been waiting for this the entire trip!  When we got in line Dinon and I were nearly bursting with excitement!  When we finally got on the elevator we rushed to the window so we could watch as we went up.  We stopped at the 1st level but stayed on until the 2nd level, where we had to get onto a different elevator for the top level.  The view from the 2nd level was amazing!  You could see lots and lots of Paris from there.  We chose a very good day to go up with blue sky and no clouds.  Then we hopped back on the elevator and rode it to the top!  I felt a little bit dizzy being up so high!  The view was AMAZING!  We saw all of Paris and could recognize many places we have already visited.  I checked out the view through a telescope at the top.  I had lots of fun on the tower!
