Nothing beats riding atop a double decker bus on your first day in Paris and having your husband say..."Turn around baby!" only to see the majesty of the Eiffel reaching up toward the clouds, high above the golden autumn trees.
"Oh be still my heart and gaze upon her beauty!!" I thought to myself. Finally, after dreaming about this city for years, here the Eiffel stands before me. La Tour Eiffel...the most popular of European icons in the world.
To stand beneath her is another thing altogether. The crowds, the steel, the height, the enormity of it all. Somehow she alone can bring in all the passion and romance and magic this beautiful "City of Lights" has to offer.
