Day Three of Spring Break
On Day three we did the Eiffel Tower and Versailles. Versailles was amazing. We could have spent a whole day there. The wait to the Eiffel tower was about an hour and a half. It was windy and so we could not go all the way to the top but it was still amazing. Having been to the top of the Tokyo Tower kind of took away from the excitement. It was pretty much the same just a different view. When standing in line these guys would come around selling NOT approved Eiffel Tower goods. How do you know they are not approved you might ask. Well when the police would ride in on their bikes all of these guys, there were about 10-20 would take off running out of the area. They would hop a fence at the end and cross the street. I guess the police never go over there to get them because these guys just wait there till the police leave then come right back over. Some of them got brave and would just hide behind the line of people. You could tell when the police were coming because you would see them all just take off running. They loved to bargain!!!!! Here are some pictures of the Eiffel Tower.
