From The Top of The Eiffel Tower

yesterday we went to the top 

of the eiffel tower.

we've been waiting for a clear

weekend day and yesterday

seemed like a good time as any.

i'm glad we waited a bit though..

being at the top i was able to 

recognize much more now that

we've been here a little while.

i'm really not comfortable with heights

but i knew i had to just breathe 

through it and enjoy the 

magnificent view.

i love the  buildings of paris..

but from up here they just seem

even more beautiful to me.

looking out onto the 

champs de mars towards

l'ecole militaire and montparnasse.

looking down.

oh my.

griffin has been talking about

going to the top of the 

eiffey towey for weeks..

we get up there and he wants

to go home.

not what he expected i guess.

:)

the arc de triomphe..

i think we could see our house!

trocadero

and the autumn trees.

not as vibrant as new england..

but i'm not complaining

:)

it was a beautiful day

looking down on paris..

i kept thinking..

this is our home!

and how very lucky we 

are to call paris our home.
