It sure does seem like you are having one heck of a great trip. I'm so glad the Eiffel Tower lives up to the "hype" for you and that you're having such a nice time. xoxoJanuarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-84392119315926289432012-05-28T17:34:24.822-04:002012-05-28T17:34:24.822-04:00That bridge and creek is sort of a surprising, del...That bridge and creek is sort of a surprising, delightful little find...! And I love the shot of the Eiffel peeking over that grand apartment building... wow---a garret there would be lovely, too! :) And I really like the seemingly very happy fish, atop the fountain sculpture at the aquarium!Christophernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-32937835476561675662012-05-28T11:35:25.991-04:002012-05-28T11:35:25.991-04:00Love the gardens.

She wrote:<br /><br />The Tower is beautiful, love all your photos. And of course Gustave Eiffel was the structural engineer for the Statue of Liberty in NY just before he designed the Eiffel tower.<br /><br />And you're absolutely right Elga - in fact I wondered if an American owned the houseboat with that Statue of Liberty on it and put it there to remind people that we have a bit of Eiffel at home. :) Doubtful, probably...Mary Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469508742745411315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-82294886279669086002012-05-28T02:30:47.152-04:002012-05-28T02:30:47.152-04:00Marlene in CA wrote: From level 1, is the only wa...Marlene in CA wrote: From level 1, is the only way to the top by elevator, or can stairs be taken to the top, too? All good photos, Mary Lynne, and I especially liked the one of you and the Tower!

I noticed last night as I waited for some cool air to find its way into my room that it was 90 degrees in Huntington and have to admit that made me feel a little better. :)<br /><br />Another basilica today and it's on the very outskirts of the city.Mary Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469508742745411315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-39745694704207959002012-05-27T22:56:08.590-04:002012-05-27T22:56:08.590-04:00Mary Lynne, I am so loving your adventures.

I love the perspective of all the people and your angles are not the ones in the typical pictures. I hope it cools down for you. We are having a beastly hot weekend in WV - up in the 90's.<br /><br />LisaLisa in WVnoreply@blogger.com
