Paris Day 6... June 20th

Day 26...

Free day in Paris, which started off with a few failed attempts…
First a group of us decided to go to the Catacombs, and as it turned out, they are not open on Mondays, but are open every other day of the week, ironic sense it’s not Sunday. And of course we didn’t find that out until we got to the ticket office. So we used to metro tickets for that failed attempt. A lot of people were planning on going to Zaha Hadid, which we later found out was also closed on Monday, fortunately I didn’t wasted any tickets to go find that.
Molly and I decided to just come back to the hotel and work on blogs and sketches and stuff like that, and then hit up the Eiffel Tower around sunset. So I got a fantastic nap in as well as wrote a few blogs!
The Eiffel Tower line wasn’t near as long as I expected. We went up to the very top, and boy did I get slightly nervous going up, but the view was 100% worth it! I think I saw the sunset from as high up as I ever have before, slightly felt like I was in the sunset J The view of the city is incredible. I saw the Arch de Triumph, a cemetery, the Palais de Chailot, and basically an aerial view of everything in the city! W stayed up until it was dark and the whole city lit up! It was definitely Christmas in June!
