Hannah and I braved the negative celsius degree weather and went running from her house, along the seine, to the Eiffel Tower. We walked up to the counter and bought our 5 euro ticket and began the climb to the first floor. My first time up the tower and I was so excited! Weighed down with my winter coat, bag, and scarf, running was a little difficult but the views just kept getting better and better!
Sur la premiere etage, on peut faire du patinoire! Et c'etait gratuit!
Oh la vache, this was one of the coolest days I've ever had in Paris.
There was practically no one on the Eiffel tower that day and I was the first person on the rink and Hannah and I skated with the place to ourselves. Oh my gosh! It is s surreal to think I ice skated on the highest rink in the world, over looking a beautiful city, with just my friend. After binge-watching the Bachelor, I was starting to think that not even one of their dates could top this!
I soaked in the views from the 2nd floor, skated to my heart's content on the first floor, and relished in the life I have right now. And there are these weird bicycle things next to the rink that light up little bulb/light structures when you pedal. Okay, why not. The French love their bikes. And there's a section of the ground that is just glass so I stood on glass over looking the people below me. It was a freaky feeling!
But this Friday was amazing!!! A bucket list item that nobody would even think of putting on their bucket list was ice skating on the Eiffel Tower. I got to hug it! And I got to run the stairs and do a few laps around the top. So flipping cool. And then we ran back to Hannah's and ate some warm soup and watched a movie before I dived into the city and went to Chinatown....
