So, we only had a little bit of time in the morning to climb the Eiffel Tower before we had to head out on the train. We got up nice and early, packed and headed down, thinking we were so early and on top of it. 5000 were on top of it too and the lines were crazy!! But we had the short one, as we were doing the stairs, and we made it up to the front quickly.
I was so excited! I had been on the top before, but Brian never had..this was going to be fun. As we neared the front, however, we realized that it was probably an all euro event, and we were short on cash. Would there be enough money to take the elevator at the top? Only time will tell!!! As we neared the front, we had to get our bag checked, and Jacques was inside, of course. Needless to say, when Brian showed the guard his stuffed giraffe, he chuckled a bit.
And we were off. We raced up the first few flights, getting to the first floor at about 234 steps, stopping momentarily to take in the view. Then up to the second. But when we got there we realized that we only had enough money for one of us to go up...and the line was about 2 hours! So, we just looked around, took some pictures of Jacques and came down.
The trip was so amazing, i could not have asked for a better engagement experience. And now for the best part...i get to marry my best friend!
