We got a late start. Randy and I are losing steam. Couldn't find anything affordable around our hotel for lunch so did Subway again.
Visited Notre Dame. Again, a gothic church and I loved it! Randy searched for the hunchback but to no avail! :( Then we went to the Eiffel Tower where we waited, and waited, and then waited some more. Two girls tried to cut but I tapped them on the shoulder and pointed to the end of the line. They said "just two?" And I was annoyed but the couple behind us went off on them and got them behind us. Unfortunately they still cut like 3 people back! We are sick of the European way of thins: cutting in lines, not moving out of the way for people to be polite, etc. My shoulder are stiff!
You probably did, but did you know the the Eiffel Tower was originally supposed to be a temporary building? It marked the 100 anniversary of freedom and was the entrance for that year's World Fair (now called World Expo). At first many people thought it was hideous but became iconic so it stands today. We went to the very tippy top! Another thing marked off our bucket list.
At the top we met a guy from Orange County who thought Greece was next to Rome! Hmmm...
Went to the Moulin Rouge to take pictures. They still have dinner and shows but it's like €150 each. Right across the street was Starbucks and Buffalo Grill where we ate dinner (best we can figure it's a French chain of American BBQ).
