Catch-Up: Eiffel Tower

View of the Trocadéro from the top floor

A few weeks ago, my friend Nicole from high school came to Paris as part of her spring break Eurotrip. I met up with her and her friend to finally do one of the key Paris sight-seeing activities: go up the Eiffel Tower. While we were waiting in line, one of the other elevators stopped working, so all the people in that line came into ours, and it ended up taking about 2 1/2 hours to get through the line and to the top, but it was worth the wait, if only because now I can say I have done it.

Here are some pictures of the view:
