At the top of the Eiffel Tower

Do you want to see Paris, France from the top of the Eiffel Tower ?
This is so COOL!

Click here and you are on top of the Eiffel Tower scanning Paris ! It may be a bit slow coming up and I wish
they had picked a clearer day, but still pretty neat. Don't forget to try all the buttons at the bottom of the photo.

So I'm at the gas station yesterday and paying at the pump only to notice they have changed the payment procedure quite a bit at this place.  The machine was asking me to authorize the maximum payment amount??? on my credit card.  Then it asked me to enter my pin number before approving the purchase.  After I got through all the steps, I was given a receipt for the actual amount I spent.   I'm machine challenged to begin with, but once I'm familiar with the procedure it won't be a problem in future.

I spent 2 weeks in Paris in Nov 1969. Though the weather was bleak and cold, I had a great time. But I never did go up the Eiffel Tower and wish I had. Ah, well, someday I'll return.

The Eiffel Tower is beautiful, and last time I was there we had great weather, too. The downside was the long queue at the bottom! Valerie

Thats really neat, such a great view. I'd much rather sit from the safety of my computer than actually go up there to see the view. That's just me though I'm sure.

I do want to go to Paris some days! It's a dream of mine.

About the gas station though, maximum payment? That's really odd..

I noticed the camera they used is probably about 100 feet or more above the tower itself. Still pretty cool though. I probably won't ever get a chance to visit France myself.

This is just so COOOOOL! I love it. We were up on the Eiffel Tower quite some time ago but it was at night. I wish we went in the day time too. What fun!
