The Eiffel Tower

By: Jordan Thomas
Yesterday we saw the Eiffel tower. We first saw it while taking a tour of Paris. We had stopped to take a few pictures in front of it. We later came back to climb it. First we had to wait in line to get the tickets to go in the Eiffel tower. Before we started to go in, a few people including me were nervous about going all the way up... Some more than others. We walked over 650 steps to get to the second level. We also stopped on the first and second levels to take a few pictures. Once were at the second level we got in line to take the elevator to the top. When we would get to the elevator, we had to fit as many of us as we could so we could go quicker and keep track of everyone more easily. Once we got to the top we took pictures of the view and each other. The view from the top was breathtaking! It was crowded at the top but everyone had their camera or phone to take pictures. There were a few locks on the fence around the top from people all over the world. I even saw one left from the USA. A lot of people couldn't believe they were at the Eiffel Tower! It is really 100 times more amazing than in a picture or a keychain or small model. We took the elevator back to the second level and all the way back down. Going down the stairs in ate Eiffel Tower than going up! Most of us can't believe that we were actually on the top of the Eiffel Tower. It's weird to think about that we really climbed the Eiffel Tower or at least a good portion and stood on it. It is definitely one of the things we will always remember!

If there is any place in the world that I had a chance to go again, I would choose the Eiffel Tower. It was breathtaking! We had to walk to the second level because the lifts were broken except for one. Once we got to the second level we took a lift to the top. I could not believe my eyes! I saw so much from one little spot. I was speechless! I could see everything! I love France so much that I got teary-eyed just for being able to do this! I saw a little Statue of Liberty at the edge of a bridge and so much more. It felt like I was in a dream. It has always been a dream of mine to stand at the top of the Eiffel Tower. All I can really say is thank you People to People for making my dream a reality!
