Day 16 - Paris France

Today was the best day yet! We woke up to rain and were all worried. It's the day we go to the Eiffel Tower and they will not allow you to go to the very top if it is raining. Our fingers were crossed that the rain would stop before our reservations at 4:30.

We began with a visit to The Louvre Museum. We had a guided tour that lasted almost 2 hours and we still didn't see but a fraction of the statues, paintings, etc that the museum houses. What we did see was amazing though. And all the students were on their best behavior. And the rain had stopped when we exited!

Due to a reschedule by the Eiffel Tower, we had some free time for shopping. We began not far from the museum and had about an hour and a half. We then went to lunch and were given about another hour of shopping time after that. No one was complaining.

Next was the Eiffel Tower. No matter how many times you see it, it never gets old. We all went to the very tippy top and enjoyed the awesome view from up there, not to mention the wind that goes with being that high up. But again, no one was complaining. I mean how can you? It's the Eiffel Tower in Paris France!!

Tomorrow - Omaha Beach/Beaches of Normandy.
