 The Hotel Alma (right) where we stayed in Paris. It is in the 7th arrondissement and a 5 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. |
 The Eiffel Tower from our hotel room. The Tower is 1,000 feet tall, covers 2.5 acres and was never meant to be permanent. |

 The "guts" and an elevator of the Eiffel Tower. The Tower looks delicate from afar but imposing close-up. |
