I have been home over a week, but thought that I needed to add the last day to the trip. We had a tour of the Eiffel Tower. Poor Lori was still gimpy (little did we know she had a broken bone in her foot), but we set off on foot to the Eiffel Tower. We left early so that we could eat some breakfast on our way. Once we were close to the tower, we stopped at a cafe for a croissant and a Coca Cola light. The Euro2016 fan zone is right next to the Eiffel Tower and most of the streets are closed around the area so really walking was our only option. The crowds were amazing and the security was very visible. We had to go through security to get into the area and then again to get on the elevators. Our guide was really good - very knowledgable and very bubbly! Lori and I were very proud of ourselves for going all the way to the top. It is a great view from the top.
After buying our final souvenirs, we started walking back to the hotel. We had decided we would stop at a cafe for a beer as soon as we found one. We found a great one and spent a couple of hours being Parisians just sitting at a sidewalk cafe watching the people. The weather was great - it had rained while we were in the tower - everything was nice and fresh. Had French fries and a couple of beers. It was really a good ending to the trip.
