What up dudes?
We saw the Eiffel Tower yesterday, but did not pay 10 bucks to stand in line for 3 hours and go to the top. We went to the top of two tall things already, good enough. It was pretty cool, but looks kind of brownish and not too pretty up close. We also walked around a lot and enjoyed the city.
Today we went to the Louvre and we're mot completely impressed but glad we did it. The Mona Lisa was crowded but we saw it enough. Tomorrow we're going to Versailles to check out that palace. The Louvre is massive (we got a bit lost) but the ancient Egyptian area was the highlight. The Louvre used to be the palace, and I think our tour guide said Louis XVI decided to move out to the countryside where he built the Versailles palace. Apparently it's quite extravagant. When the king moved out artists moved into the Louvre and set up studios and later it was turned into a museum.
Later.

John is super disappointed that you two did not go to the top of the Eiffel tower! He said it could not possibly be a 3 hour wait in the dead of winter. Did you guys have another super pressing engagement to get to or something???
ReplyDeletewe had been to the top of two other things a day or two before (Notre Dame and the Arc de Triompe), it would be the same view pretty much, just a different angle. Only two out of four entrances to the tower were open and the lines were ridiculously long. We´re not disappointed.
