Not the Eiffel Tower!

Quick entry and picture before we head to bed. LOTS of walking and waiting today as we toured the Invalides and Eiffel areas. Despite the cliches and being a tourist mecca, there is something awe-inspiring and majestic about the Eiffel tower. It always brings forth a "wow" every time I get my first close-up glance. Today was no different as we approached it from the South. We managed to time our ascent of the tower perfectly with dusk. It was dark by the time we descended and the tower was all lit up. (no we did not go there on Harleys...reference the leather).

We also took in the military museum and the Dome Church where Napoleon's tomb is located. We wanted to see musee Rodin, but just did not have the time to fit it in today. We're both completely wiped out after today. Planning on a light day tomorrow.
