Eiffel Tower

Today we rushed to the Eiffel Tower to try to miss all the lines and people, we thought if we got there early we would miss all the big line ups..... Didn't happen, after a 4 hour wait we finally got to climb up the Eiffel tower. We took the elevator to the middle floor, it was a great view, we could see the whole city. We had to take another elevator to the very top. From there we
could see everything. That's where my other 2 pictures were taken from. The Eiffel Tower was finished being built March 31st 1889. It was built to be a part of the world fair. When the world fair was done many French people wanted the Eiffel Tower torn down. They thought that it was ugly and they didn't want to look at it anymore. Who knew it was one day going to be a wonder of the world?? From the top of it we could see the Arc De Triumph, Notre Dame, and the castle where the French royal family lives. Did you know they paint the Eiffel Tower every 7 years, and it takes 60 thousand tons of paint? The Eiffel Tower has 2.5 million rivets and 16,000 different pieces of steel in it. It was an amazing thing to see in real life!
