Eiffel Tower


Bonjour. No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower so that's where we went today.


Amber and Ediza rode a carousel at the base of the 1,063-foot tower -- not once, but twice.


Instead of waiting in long lines to go up the tower we decided to visit a nearby playground that had the world-famous icon as a backdrop.



The Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It's 119 years old, weighs about 10,000 tons and has 1,665 steps. After the Great Wall of China that would have been a cakewalk.
