Went to the Eiffel Tower and climbed up to the 2nd floor and saw some great views of the town; there’s this interesting mosque looking building with silver dome top things, but there are also crosses on those so I’m not sure exactly what it is, but it looks cool. It’s definitely different seeing the police and military walking around with huge automatic weapons, but it’s actually pretty comforting and you don’t feel threatened by them at all. Next, we went to the Louvre, but we only had about 45 min there, so we spent half the time looking for the bathroom and the other half at the Mona Lisa, but I’m pretty ok with that because it’s not as interesting to look at all the stuff when you don’t know what it means, and all the plaques were in French. I was thinking yesterday that a French cream puff would probably be very good, and we got one as our dessert with dinner today which made me very happy!
