Now you know: We went to Paris. The first stop was the Eiffel Tower, the most visited monument in the modern world. Not because we hadn’t seen it before but because we had not been up close and personal. And this time I had a camera that could take it in.
I’m guessing that most of the quarter billion people who’ve visited the Eiffel Tower have taken pictures of it. Judging by what we saw, the current favorite shot is of a happy tourist in front of it, caught jumping up with outstretched arms. I was happy to be there but decided to take a more traditional, dignified route. I knew I’d have enough embarrassment with my so-called French language skills without looking like I’d gone to Paris to play on a trampoline at the Eiffel Tower.
