Our first sighting of the Eiffel Tower

We went in to Paris for the first time today and wandered around the 1st and saw the sights. At one point we rounded a corner and had a view of a tall triangular tower in the distance, all lit up with a searchlight on top. Margaret immediately exclaimed, "There's a lighthouse!"


Not that I can really criticize. We went to a Belgian beer bar and I ordered what I thought was some very authentic beer, only to get essentially a cherry Smirnoff Ice, with Belgian writing on it.

  1. It probably was an authentic beer. The Belgians (and my dad) love that fruity beer stuff. It's all he buys since he came home from teaching there last fall!

  3. We haven't forgotten Leah, don't worry. We haven't seen it yet, but when we were walking around Notre Dame, we did see a bunch of stands selling really long hot dogs in rolls. We're just waiting till they are in croissants, and to the left of the Eiffel Tower.
