Our last full day in Paris had to be memorable. We slowed up the pace even more than the day before and only did 1 or 2 sites.
We went to the famous Eiffel Tower....it was quite beautiful to see in the light of day. We both decided that walking was the best way to get to the top. Unfortunately, the stairs are closed to the public from the 2-3 platform. We did however walk up the first 2 platforms. It was so memorable, a moment I will never forget. It was actually quite easy to get up there. It took us a longer time to wait in the lift to go to the 3rd platform than to walk up over 700 steps....lol.
The views were spectacular. We were able to see the entire city and everything looked tiny. As we stood together, I was glad that Aaron proposed to me where he did and not at the tower. Not only do I not like the tower, but it is not personal and it is way overcrowded. You would get a ton of applause and it would be extremely cheesy. We met two ladies from Iowa in line for the lift and we talked about her recent marriage. She looked at my ring and I finally got that "OMG, you're getting married" feeling. She was so excited about it for us and she loved my ring...which is good because I have not been flaunting it around.
We also got to wade in a fountain across the street from the Tower. It was freezing but some of the pictures were beautiful. I guess the kids here do not swim in public pools but in fountains instead. Hey, whatever floats your boat.
We had dinner at this awesome Fondue place. We learned that fondue is a winter food, but we didn't care. We really wanted melted cheese.
