Up close and personal

Hanging out at the base of Eiffel Tower, there was no way I was heading up the elevators with the long lines, pushing and shoving.

I was just enjoying my time in and around, I have been up the tower previously, I was thinking back to when it was and was a little surprised to work out in was the mid to late 1990s, regardless, I wasn't heading up this time.

It's hard to believe they were actually seriously contemplating tearing the structure down at the end of the World's Fair in 1889, initially criticised by intellectuals and artists, it is now the most visited monument in the world.
