| The Eiffel Tower |
Today we toured the Eiffel Tower and made our way out early in the morning so the lines wouldn't be too long when we got there. We first started off by taking the metro and then walked the rest of the way. Of course, when we got there, there was a pretty long line, but not nearly as long as it usually is. So, after buying tickets and going up the elevator, we finally made it to the top. It was very windy and a little chilly, but the view was breath taking. You could see the maze of streets and even a running track below. We went down, had a little snack, and walked to the cemetery.

After a while in the cemetery we walked to the catacombs. It started to rain while we were waiting in the line outside, but we made it inside after a short amount of time. There was another line for the tickets and then we were led onto the spiral staircase down to the catacombs. It was dark and wet down there and pretty long. The bones were laid out in neat, artistic piles and they had several little stalactites hanging from the ceiling, dripping water on our heads.
We found a Japanese restaurant and the young man there did not look too happy about working there. The food was delicious and it made us feel a lot better after the long period of walking.
We walked back to the apartment and then went back out to get groceries for tonight's dinner. We have a taxi that it supposed to be waiting for us at 10:15 in the morning and we are planning to go to Versailles!
Sending hugs and kisses,

I remember the catacombs...I thought this was very scary. I didn't like the small spaces. I'm glad you are so brave.
