I was very much delighted today because my son and his wife took us to Paris by car. This was for the first time for us to visit Paris. | |
After some two and a half hours, we arrived at the center of Paris, Tour Eiffel. | |
I couldn't believe that I was walking around the tower. | |
We first took lunch nearby viewing the tower. | |
French bread and fried potato,and beer, of course. | |
My son and his wife left somewhere and we got on a sightseeing bus on the upper deck. | |
