The Eiffel Tower is a beautiful structure, and we seemed to make a lot of photographs of it. On our third day, we also visited the Musée d’Orsay, which had plenty of great art and opportunities for people-watching. The late afternoon walk along the Seine back to our hotel was really wonderful. Here are some photos; you can also see day one and two.

Lots of steel.
Everyone is waiting to take the elevator down…
The stairs were much more enjoyable.

I was intriqued by “hold me”. I clicked on it to blow it up. Sure nuf. Everyone is holding another. The question is, is there some strange force in this location that attracts people to hold another? Perhaps a sign that says “hold another here. It’ll make people in the states wonder what we’re up to.”
Dave, I think the only special thing about the location is that it’s in Paris. This is the G-rated version. On the Metro platforms (and trains and escalators…) there’s a whole lot of face sucking. Ah, Paris.
