It was such a long day in airports and on planes, but at the end of it we were looking at the Eiffel Tower!!! Amazing! In fact, our hotel was just a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower, so we saw it every day. One evening we rode to the top of the tower and gazed out at the city lights twinkling far below in the night. A remarkable feature of the Eiffel Tower that we were so excited to witness is that when night falls and it's completely dark, the Eiffel Tower sparkles as if it were covered with diamonds!!! It happens every hour, on the hour, for just a few minutes. Millions of tiny bulbs covering the entire tower flash on and off in 6 second intervals making it shimmer and shine. A spectacular sight!
