Waiting
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F
Apparently I’m not the only one waiting for darkness to fall. There’s still a lot of people here waiting for the sun to set completely.
Photo Time
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F
Everyone takes so many photos here at the Eiffel Tower but I wonder how many come out well. I see so many people making big mistakes in their photography. As an example, when it started getting dark,Read more
Let’s Go Inside
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
As the sun goes down so does the temperature. Not only is it cold it’s getting very windy. Kathy has been inside for a while now. She always seems to be much more sensitive to cold than I am. I’mRead more
Going Down
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
We’ve seen all there is to see from the top of the Eiffel Tower and we’re ready to start going down again. I’m surprised by how quickly the elevator moves! Maybe all elevators move at this rateRead more
Lower Level Views
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
Even from the lower level, the view of Paris is so beautiful! We’re having such a wonderful time in France and we’re so happy that we finally made it here!
What a View!
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
The views from the lower level are just as magnificent as what we saw on the upper level but there’s just something so special about being at the top of the Eiffel Tower!
A Panoramic View
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Even a super wide angle panoramic view like this doesn’t seem to be enough to really capture what we saw from the Eiffel Tower. It’s so wonderful being able to visit places like this!
Time to Leave
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
By now, we’ve seen everything, more than once, and it’s time for us to start leaving. As much as I’d love to stay, it’s time to eat and we’re getting so hungry!
Back on the Ground
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We’ve made back on to the street but we’re just sitting here for a bit and enjoying the view. A lot of people seem to think that the Eiffel Tower is overrated but we loved it!
Better at Night
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
While we were amazed by the views of the Eiffel Tower during the day, at night it becomes even more impressive! How can anyone possibly find this site to be overrated? I just can’t understand that.
Still Crowded
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Once again, I’m so happy that we planned ahead and ordered our tickets online. The lines for the Eiffel Tower are still so long! I’m sure that this must be the most popular attraction in Paris!
Light Show
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
The lights have just begun flashing on the Eiffel Tower. It looks even better now than it did before! So glad that we decided to wait here for a bit to see this.
The Lights

Here’s a short video of the light show since photos just can’t capture the beauty and wonder of this amazing view. It looks fantastic!
Bye, Eiffel Tower!
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
With a last look back, we’re ready to leave the Eiffel Tower. I’m so happy that I’m able to cross another destination off of my bucket list. I’ve been wanting to come here for so many years..
Where To Now?
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We’re back in the Metro and ready to go get dinner! Both of us are very hungry and looking forward to a great meal. I hope that the train comes soon!
Back to the Metro
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We’ve decided on a place to have dinner so now we’re getting back on the train to get there. I hope we don’t have to wait too long for the train. I’m hungry!
Ready to Ride
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
The train came very quickly but, when we got out and onto the street, we saw that we were in a very dark and sketchy looking area. We didn’t want to stay so we quickly went back into the trainRead more
Riding Again
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We decided to go to another restaurant since we didn’t feel safe in that first area we visited. Fortunately, the train came quickly and whisked us off to a more friendly seeming neighborhood.
Hungry For Duck
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We finally made it to a restaurant. Kathy has been wanting to try eating duck very much while we’re in France and, since that other restaurant didn’t work out, we decided to have it tonight.
Le Comptoir de La Gastronomie
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Le Comptoir de La Gastronomie is a very popular restaurant in Paris and has so many great reviews. We didn’t have any reservations but, fortunately, we were still able to get a table. This will beRead more
Outdoor Dining
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
There were no tables inside so we were given a table outside. There were portable heaters outside so, despite being outside, we felt very comfortable and warm. We’ve been wanting to try outdoorRead more
Seated Outside
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
We felt warm at our table, thanks to the portable heaters near our table but not so warm that we could take our coats off. Eating outside is something new to us. I think that we’re going to enjoyRead more
Just Me
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Seated at the table beside us was a group of American tourists who came from Long Island, so close to where we live! We spoke with them for a bit but, honestly, I wasn’t very interested in gettingRead more
The Duck
November 9, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Kathy’s duck looks amazing! I don’t care very much for duck but, yet, this looks so tasty and appetizing to me. I think that she’s really going to enjoy this!

Kathy was so impressed with her meal that she wanted to get a photo of it. So far, we’re so impressed with this restaurant. I’m hoping that we have a chance to come back again one day.
