We rested up… Traci woke up in the middle of the night not being able to sleep, so did Kylie. But by 4AM. They were both nearing ready to sleep. And we all didn’t wake up until 2PM. I apparently racked up like 14 hours sleep. Not the best sleep, but sleep none-the-less. After waking up, we decided that our “classique” room was too small for us. I went down and talked to the SPG Gold/Platinum desk agent. Though the hotel is full, they found us a DUO room. This room is huge compared our last one, and better suits our needs with Kylie’s crib and all. It cost us another 1000 starpoints per night. Well worth it. It feels much more comfortable. Has a Plasma TV, two desks, and a larger more comfortable bed.
Needless to say, we spent the better part of the early afternoon dealing with or room change. By 5pm we ready to head out and eat. We went to Pizza Roma, a street side Italian restaurant. Good pizza. It rivaled the best pizza we had in Italy.
We stopped by the super marche and picked up some bottled water and a couple staples. Fed Kylie some more, and then hit the Metro for the Tour Eiffel. We made it before it was dark, but there’s a long wait to get tickets and ultimately ride the elevator.
In 1995 I made it to the Eiffel Tower with my cousin Tri, but due to high winds, they weren’t letting people to the very top. Today, we made it to the top. The platform is much smaller at the top, and it is much windier at the top. But the view is great! I wish I had a full-size Tripod for my camera. I was able to get some good pictures with our point and shoot, using my mini Ultra-pod.
Kylie was down by midnight. Hopefully, tonight works out to be a much better nights rest for everyone. We’ll see what tomorrow has in store?
Teaching Kylie some French phrases.
Our first Dinner out at a restaurant.

A couple Eiffer tower photos at night.
And twinkling. The Rugby championships were going on while we were there, hence the green lighting at the base of the tower.
