I woke up early this morning and grabbed a croissant on my way to the Louvre. It opened at 9:00 and by the time I got there at 9:10 there was a line. Luckily it only took about 20 minutes to make it inside. I spent a little over 2 hours walking around the museum and didn't even see everything....it's a huge place. Of course I made sure to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. After leaving the Louvre I decided to walk to the Eiffel Tower because it was such a nice day outside. The walk took 45 minutes. There were lots of people wanting to get into the Eiffel Tower so the wait in line was about 90 minutes long, but it was worth it. The views from the top of the Eiffel Tower are breathtaking. I did a lot of walking today so I went back to my hotel to rest before going out for dinner.
