Okay, now this post is definitely about a place that almost everybody has heard about before. The most romantic place on earth, one of the most popular must see things, the beautiful attraction of the Eiffel Tower. Many people travel from all over the word to walk up the steps, or cheat and take the elevator, to the top of the tower. I was lucky enough to be able to already have traveled to this spot and I was also lucky enough to climb up the many steps to the top platform to look out over the wonderful city of Paris.
What many people don't know is that once it is dark the Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes every hour. The first time I found this out I was actually walking up the steps of the tower and my friend in front of my turned and said, "Are you ready?" in a very excited voice. I replied with a, "Ready for what?" but before I got the question out the lights were already going off and everyone was screaming in joy. It was a moment that I will never forget. We rushed to get to the platform and peered down and up to see the tower glitter in the darkness.
The picture I have included is one that I took myself once I returned back to the ground after climbing the thousands of steps. Just looking at this picture helps me escape from whatever is going on in my life and lets me remember this great time that I had with some of my best friends. I would recommend going to see the Eiffel Tower to anyone who seems even slightly interested because it is such an amazing experience.
