The Awesome Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was the first attraction I visited in Paris. What a thrill to see it soaring above the city and know that soon I’d be ascending to the upper levels. The size took me by surprise with it being much more substantial than I expected. The massive iron framework houses elevators that transport visitors to the viewing decks and offer a great view on the way up. I bought a miniature Eiffel Tower from a gift shop within the tower and it now sits in my bedroom as a reminder of the day I surveyed Paris from one of the most famous landmarks in the world.
