Le Tour Eiffel

On our second day in Paris, we took a long walk from our apartment through St. Germain to the Eiffel Tower, which we reached by mid-afternoon. Unfortunately, once we reached the tower, the word for the day became "throng." We decided to come back the next day and avoid waiting many hours in line. This picture was taken from the base of the tower looking northwest. The building in the background is the Place de Varsovie, which is across the Seine from the tower.
