My love affair with the Eiffel Tower
All night we've been navigating through the streets of Paris with my iphone in hand trying to get reception and trying to find our way to the Eiffel Tower. After walking for what seemed forever, I was taken back when we turned a corner and instantly we were no longer lost. There it is, the Eiffel Tower was glowing and standing bright in front of me. Spellbinding and simply charming, I was mesmerized, in awe, surprised and at some point, it took my breath away.
All those years, listening to people talk about the monument, seeing it in magazines, television or websites, I guess it made me immune to the idea of it; but, once it was right in front of me, I literally didn't know what to say or do. I was speechless.
So, here we are on a cold night facing each other. We got acquainted as I took photos of every angle I could possibly take. My favorite part, aside from the light show, would be going under the monument. Sounds odd but, it was neat to see the details, be able to take photos of it and be able to gauge the proportion or size of the monument. Definitely worth visiting at night especially, when there's not a lot of people around. We came here around 930pm and we didn't have to fight for space or the view. Anyhew, it's been a whirlwind experience, good-bye for now and see you soon in the near future.
Notes: All photos were taken by me. Please, ask if you'd like to use them. Thanks!
