In the morning we went up into the Eiffel Tower. Very impressive. 375 meters tall. (We took the water driven hydraulic elevator, not the 600+ steps, up). our hotel is almost right under it!
Then onto a drive around the city, much like what we did last night looking at the lights. Saw all the main attractions including the Opera House (musica) and Notre Dame
Next we visited the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Nike, and paintings by daVinci and sculptures by Michelangelo.
Finally we went to the lock bridge to put our "love" lock on it and threw the keys into the Seine. Then we walked 3 miles back to our hotel, stopping at a sidewalk bar for a "beverage"!
Tonight we go to the Moulin Rouge. They don't allow cameras so we will not be able to post any pics tonight of that.
