Not only did we successfully find the Arc de Triomphe, we successfully walked up the 284 steps to the top. I had been practicing my stair climbing at work to prepare for this day. I had been to Paris before so I knew what we were in store for. Tight quarters, and very twisty steps..all the way up...and down. Robert is afraid of heights, but this view was worth it. Unfortunately, it was a little overcast, so it was not very clear for pictures but the picture in our head will last forever.
While on the lookout tower we could see the Eiffel Tower. We thought it would be a good idea to walk, it did not really look that far away, besides we would be able to see so much more of the city. Man was that a mistake, it took us over 2 hours to get there.
