Paris Day 2

So we awoke this morning in our beautiful hotel room overlooking a quiet Paris street (more like an alley and it was quiet last night) to the sounds of construction directly across the way. Some how we still slept in and just took things slowly this morning. We found out there's actually a one hour time difference between London and Paris and so we were off by an hour until I bought a watch. Cute one for about $10 with the Eiffel tower on it.

We then did some shopping and hopped on a bus tour that took us around town and ended at the Eiffel Tower. Built in 1889 for their world fair, it has 1,665 steps and was built in 2 years, 2 months and 5 days. We spent 3 hours checking it all out.

Paris, itself is a very dirty city. There's all these beautiful historial monuments covered with disgusting black reside and littering here is a big problem.

Tomorrow we're off to explore around the area and see what we can see.
