Once while in Paris, I had a good view of the Eiffel Tower while in the tub and I had to wonder why anyone would want it as a landmark - it is just an ugly piece of steel in the daytime. It did put on the world's best fireworks display at the millenium.
I was there at the millenium. Paris keeps moving my impressionists. Been there three times to see them and each time, they are either on tour, in renovation or being moved somewhere. Sacre Bleu.
The Tour D'Eiffel is an erector project by a big kid. I believe the French hated it. But then New York hated the Brooklyn Bridge until it was completed.
My favorite monument is Joan of Arc. Now there is a real man!
Are you alright? Are you safe? Do you need anything?
