Finalement, La Tour Eiffel.

     A good day! I walked until my feet were dead. I started my day with a long Metro ride to La Pont D'Alexandra and then I made my way to the Eiffel Tower. It was nice, but I have to admit, a little dissapointing. The tower itself is absolutely amazing, but it was so crowded at the base and there were about a million people trying to sell you things that you didn't want. Another good scam I saw was a bunch of women dressed in rags would come up and say, "You speak English??" and if you answered yes, they would give you a peice of paper that said, "I am from Bosnia, and I have ten children who haven't eaten in a week, etc. Can you spare ten euros?" It was awful. I told her that I had no money to give her because I am backpacking and broke as well, and she then went on to say, "But, you have a Marc Jacobs purse, and a North Face, I have NOTHING!!" She actually tried to shame me into giving her ten euros. Dear Lord. It was terrible. After that, I walked to the Champs Elysses, and drooled for a good hour. Louis Vuitton, Prada, Zadig & Voltaire, on and on and on!!! I wish I had money. Holy cow. They have guards at the doors of the nice stores, you can't go in unless you LOOK the part. It's crazy.
     You might not know this, but I had about a third of my clothes stolen from me at my first hostel, so I took that as a good excuse to shop- a little bit. It's impossible not to on the Champs Elysses! I ended up getting a sweater, a wool jacket (because all of a sudden it got so cold!!), and a wool dress.. Ahh. Finally, shopping. After that, I headed back to Place Voltaire, and now I am resting my feet. Like I said, a good day. Here's a couple pictures.
