Stephanie's Eiffel Tower Visit

Hi, guys!  Stephanie here doing a guest blog to give you my take on the Eiffel Tower. I am not going to say I was not afraid of the whole thing. It was scary for sure. My adrenaline was definitely flowing. And my heart was pounding but mostly from all those stairs!  I had realized my fears of heights in St. Paul's Cathedral as well.  But I've decided it is because in that building you are forced to look down.  You cannot look out because you're inside and completely enclosed.  I don't like that.

Back to Paris, we made it up to the 2nd platform with no problems (for me).  I didn't have strong desires to go to the top.  It was very foggy out and the views weren't going to be great.  It was cold, and I was a bit nervous after the whole St Paul Experience.  BUT, my whole family had gone to the top, and I knew if I came home without having summited the tower, I would never hear the end of it.  So up to the top I went!

The elevator ride was terrifying, but the top wasn't so bad.  I have loads of pictures and a video of the elevator, but only have time to upload one now as we are trying to head out for some dinner.

I did it!

So, all in all, a good time for me.  I don't hate Mr. Eiffel.
