We finally went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at sunset. It was really cool, but claustrophobia coupled with the height made me not inclined to go to the very top. I was content with the view from the middle.
Obviously we wanted to go out with a bang, so we all met beneath the Eiffel tower and the wine began to flow. A good time was had by all.
I woke up the next day feeling the wine and headed to the airport, only to find out my flight was delayed by 3 hours. I got some sleep and felt better when I boarded the plane.
Since I was crossing the Atlantic Ocean, I figured this was cheesy yet fitting.
Although, at times, I had my doubts, I finally made it back to the USA as illustrated by the flight map in the headrest in front of me.
Since I was delayed in Paris, I missed my connecting flight from Cleveland to St. Louis and Continental Airlines put me up in a pretty nice Marriott Hotel for the night. I had two beds and made sure to sleep in both of them.
Finally, I'm home.
I miss all of my Paris friends a lot though, but hopefully we have a reunion in a couple months. They were a great group, and I can't wait to see them again.
I move into my new apartment tomorrow, so that will make the 5th place I've lived this year! (Watterson, old house, Paris, new house, apartment)
LOTS of new pics up on Flickr, so check them out.
Also, I received my press pass for Pitchfork Festival, so I'm really pumped! Hope to see everybody there!
