3. Stand At The Top Of The Eiffel Tower

Sadly I don't get climb up all the stairs to get to the top, but because of a limited amount of time I had to take the elevator, not the stairs. I went in the evening so the extraordinary view was lit up the horizon with twinkling city lights.  I was surprised to learn the Eiffel tower is covered in lights, and every so often twinkling ones turn on for thirty seconds or so, creating a spectacular sight.

I took the above picture in the afternoon the same day.  Before going up the Eiffel I went on a tour down the canal on a boat.  This was the first day of my trip, and I was extremely jet legged.  After seeing the seventy-second old building, while floating down the canal, I leaned my head on the seat in front of me, when I woke up we were pulling into dock, it was dark, and there was a twinkling Eiffel Tower in front of me. Next time I will definitely take the stairs, and climb all the way to the top.
