Oh look, dinner on the lawn under the Eiffel Tower. Our group grew from 6 or 7 to around 14 as people from our group kept randomly showing up.
You may notice the bottle of wine Ryan is pulling from a bag... illegal-ish. I say "ish" because we waited till we saw 2-4 other groups around us enjoying their drinks before pulling ours out. After all, a picnic at the Eiffel Tower just isn't the same without a toast.
In line for what Ralph calls the "Izzle Tizzle." You'll note that I'm stoked. Ralph is too; it's a little bit more subtle. By the time we got to the front of the line, 5 other mini groups of our group had ended up there, and by the end of the night, 28 of our 47 were at the top at the same time.
View from the second level... we timed it to get there right around sunset.. wasn't an incredible sunset, but still pretty sweet.
In line for the elevator to take us the rest the way to the top. Again, we're all stoked... even Ralph. Note the artistic decision to include a symbolic Eiffel Tower in the background. Special thanks to Ryan for taking the role of the Tower.
Picture of a railing. And the sunset. Self explanatory.
20-something of the 28 who ended up there at the same time. Yeah, we crowded up the area. Also, pay attention to the time of day of these last few photos. We definitely spent HOURS on the top level.
The tower is blue. Oh, and this is from the walk down... we had to take an elevator the first part of the way, but then walked/raced down the last half.
Can't go to the Eiffel Tower without a little bit of ice cream. Here we are across the street, looking at the tower, enjoying our ice cream. Luckily it was on the warmer side of things... my idea of a good ending to a great night is not freezing my bum.
