Built in 1889 as the entry point or arch to the World's Fair, Gustave Eiffel created a vision that became a global icon. Millions flock to it every year to gaze upon its engineering wonder and ascend to the top just as Steven and I did on our last day in Paris together May 29th. As if the height alone were not enough to create a high...we also drank a champagne toast to life, eachother and a fantastic week together. Creating great memories is one our favorite things to do and I don't know what we are going to do to top this one.
Other wonders we visited were the Notre Dame Cathedral with it's immense flying buttresses and incredible history you can read here
Notre_Dame_de_Paris, check out this fabulous stained glass window and another photo from the outside.
We also went to a fun wine tasting at a local Cave aka Wine Shop and walked through the Luxembourg Gardens on our way to the most fabulous Italian Dinner for our last night together. Another special memory...I will always cherish our days in Paris.
Sadly, it had to end and this morning we rode the train to the airport and at the terminal had to go our separate ways...Steven to Seattle and me on to Turkey. It is almost 1AM and I think I will turn in now. Have had a few hours in Turkey so far and it is quite a weird and exotic adjustment from France.
Take care and I will update you on tomorrow's adventures.
