In which our heroine finally makes it to the Eiffel Tower

8:15pm

Eiffel fucking Tower

Well, I made it. Here's the stupid photo of the stupid tower. I'm sure I'll feel glad for it later, but right now I'm just tired. And those raspberry Pim's aren't that great either.

Now, to eat and find a metro.

It is cooler than I thought. Immense crowds over the other side, I hate to think what it's like during the day in summer.

Dutch school group wandering by. Dooi!

8:26pm

Perhaps I made a mistake wandering in random search for a restuarant. But I got to see a sign for 'Chez Minh' which must be unique to France.

At the end of the day, I found Pont l'Alma when looking for a Metro station so I could take a walk back to the Marais. But in line with the great disasters associated with Pont l'Alma [it's the bridge under which Princess Diana's car was crushed, in case you're wondering] , the photo of the sign I took didn't turn out.
