Left to right: Don and Peggy M., Mississippi; Chris H., Belgium; Tania D., Canada. We took the Métro to Trocadéro and walked through the Palais de Chaillot, down the promenade and across the Seine River to the Eiffel Tower. On the tower is a count-down to the Year 2000 -- only 473 days until the Year 2000.

Inside the Eiffel Tower we were a little soggy, but we persevered. There was enough visibility to see across the city itself, but you couldn't see out beyond to the countryside. There are photographs to orient you to what you are viewing from the tower, and it's a good overview and orientation to the city. Don remarked that the Tower was a very big Erector set. The elevators are always amazing, traveling diagonally upward along two of the sweeping legs of the tower. You change at the second platform to a central elevator that travels vertically up to the third platform near the top.
