Eiffel Tower

On Monday, we took a train to the Eiffel Tower since it's across town. E was super alert and super curious on the train. It was all so strange for him and he was trying to work out what was going on. So adorable...

The Eiffel Tower... what can I say? We went, we stood in line, then we stood in line some more, ... and loved it. It really is worth seeing up close and the view from the top is unparalleled. We then stopped into a grocery store, picked up a baguette, some prosciutto, some fruit, and picniced in the park leading up to the Eiffel Tower. Just as we were finishing up, a lady ran up to us, handed us a pamplet, and shoo'ed us off the grass. Weird. Why have a really inviting field of grass and not let people enjoy it? Stranger still, why not have a sign? One Frenchman she tried to shoo objected and they debated a bit until 2 policemen on horses showed up. ;-)

From the Eiffel Tower, we walked back to our apartment and explored the streets in between. We came across a grocery store of frozen food... they had everything, even frozen sushi!
