To the Tower!!

It’s unfortunate that blogs read the way they do. To get the whole Paris experience you should probably scroll down and start from the beginning.

We decided that the best way to see as much of Paris as possible in the limited time we had was to take the infamous open top bus tour. For those of you that read our London exploits you will know that this is Sam’s favorite way to get about town. He actually sits there with 20 cent headphones plugged into their jack and most of the time listens to the guide in the proper language. I can’t be sure he is paying attention, but maybe if even a little bit gets in there by osmosis we are ahead of the game. Since we are on the topic of Sam, you might also know that Sam has created a “list of things to do before I get too old to do them” list. On that list was to visit the Eiffel tower in Paris. He might now be the only child I know to not only have a “list”, but to also have crossed off a major milestone on that list. Once again Mr. “I’m too tired” knocked us on our heels and proceeded to tromp up the stairs of the Eiffel tower like a champ. Apparently there are roughly 1700 steps to the top, top, top of the tower. I think we managed to do half of them before rain cut our trip short. Here are a pile of shots from our Eiffel experience.
