The Eiffel Tower

Later that evening, Lauren and I headed to the Eiffel Tower to catch the sunset! We arrived a little early, so we relaxed on the great lawn with the tower in our sight. It was such a perfect setting because near us two guys were playing the guitar, so we just sat, enjoyed the music and stared at the Tower. It was so perfect!

Instead of walking up all the stairs (we were getting tired of stairs by that point in our trip), we took the elevator to the 1st level. On the first level I walked around gazing at all the magnificent views of Paris. I also learned some of the history of the Statue of Liberty. I never knew the same structural engineer designed the Eiffel Tower, designed the structure undernearth the Statue of Liberty. And then we watched a very unimpressive sunset.

As we were leaving the level, the tower lit up and began to sparkle! It was so incredible! Luckily we made it down just in time to snap a picture. All I can say is that the Eiffel Tower is such an incredible site at night! I definitely loved it!
