Day 253: Paris: The Louvre and More Eiffel

October 26, 2016

Today was another huge day. I think I am still under-slept because I took literally over 600 photos today. How even?? It was amazing though.

I got up early and got in the line for the Louvre. Getting there early really is the only way to even get in I think. It was worth every minute of the wait. The palace/museum is beautiful.

Everyone said I would need a full day, but I ran around, and managed to even get up close and personal with the Mona Lisa! I guess the early bird gets the selfie. I spent about 5 hours straight just wondering around the displays. It was crazy seeing so many ridiculously famous things.

I probably could have stayed longer, but honestly, tourists are the worst and they really kind of ruined the experience a bit. Still blew my mind though. Amazing.

From there, I headed to the Eiffel Tower. The sun was out, so I had high hopes of a great view, but as soon as I made it to the top, the clouds rolled in.

I stayed up there for 2 hours waiting for it to clear, but it didn't look promising... On the way down, the blue skies came out!

I still cannot get over how magical the Eiffel Tower is though. It's so unbelievable to see it up close. I touched the Eiffel Tower.

After dark, the whole thing lights up, so I got to see it sparkle in the nighttime, which really just increased my love for it even more.

My hostel is on the same street as Moulin Rouge, so I stopped by to look at that. Didn't occur to me that the rest of the street would be a little bit trashy because of that though! Oops!
