The Eiffel tower & Versailles

Our dreams came true today! We went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower today!!!! It was a beautiful day and the sun came out just as we were up there. To bad that doesn't make us French! Then we'd be able to understand what they're saying about us.

A few new experiences today: people selling gaudy trinkets at the Eiffel Tower on blankets with strings attached for easy clean-up for when the Police arrive to chase them away!
Young girls posing to be deaf for sympathy donations, having a "talking meeting" with their boss!!!

We also toured the Versailles castle today. The gardens strtchef out for miles and miles!!! Beautiful grounds with many different living quarters around the estate! Visited the Temple of Love, and the Marie Antoinette's private Hamlet! And no, we didn't bump into her!

Had fabulous pizza on our balcony with the Brown family on a gorgeous night!
