Day 14 - Paris

We have officially been traveling for 2 weeks, crazy! Today we did a ton!

We started the day with an early trip to the Eiffel Tower. We got in line before it opened at 9am, and waited for almost 2 hours to go to the top.

The lift to the top was kind of scary, but the view was great.



We then proceeded to walk around the city and see everything. We saw the Arc de Triumph, the Louve (& Mona Lisa), Notre Dame, the Pantheon, and we climbed the 200 steps to the Basilique du Sacre Coeur.







Paris was way too crowded and dirty. We got some dinner and ate at the hostel.


Our Rummy score....Brit is getting crushed!
We then ventured out to check out the World Cup Finals. There was a big screen set up right near the Eiffel Tower and there were SO many people there watching the game! We stayed for a little and left before the end of the first half. We didn't care as much about watching the game as we did to see the scene. It was unreal.

We are off to London tomorrow, one more stop!
