Day 24!!

So today was our second day in Paris, and it was another wonderful day! It was eiffel tower day!! haha I feel like that thing is my best friend, considering I have wat seems like hundreds of pictures of it. haha

going to the eiffel tower was the first thing we did that day. right when we got there, you see all of this Indian like ppl selling cheap eiffel tower souveniers. hahaha. it was quite entertaining, because when the police would ride their bikes near where they were all standing, they (like 30 of them) would all sprint and scury away with their merchandise. hahaha. it was just really funny. there was also a guy dressed up in a gorilla suit who would just randomly stand by ppl and take pictures with them, and then want money in return. I was thankful for those ppl, because it made standing in line to go up the tower to go faster. haha

We ended up going to the top of the eiffel tower, and let me tell you, it was TOTALLY worth it!! it was so amazing to see the whole city of paris from the top. gosh, what a feeling. we then went down to teh grass by the eiffel tower to take some sweet pics, and then up to the steps to get our "money maker" shot. haha. I made the boys do both of these, but they appreciated it in the end :)

after that, which was about a 4 hour long event, we met up with my friend, spencer and the boys friends, tim, diana, heather and ben. So our 4 person group turned into a 9 person group! it was really interesting to me that we were able to meet up with ppl from home, halfway across the world, without cell phones. how neat yeah?? so we went out to a nice dinner with all of them.

after that, we went on a night cruise on the river and got to see the city at night. it was beautiful! I got to take even MORE amazing pictures of the eiffel tower at night! haha. it was super fun! then we walked around some more and called it a night. another early morning awaits us the next day!
