A Pedestal of Lovers Along The City Of Affection

Perhaps there is no other structure more synonymous with love in the whole universe, than the prominent Eiffel Tower found in Paris, France. In silver screens and television shows, romantic scenes would have a greater effect if it was done within the surroundings of this tower, where the lovers would make references to their relationship. Outsiders arriving in France would always insist on having their photo taken near Eiffel, as undeniable proof of their arrival in France. Thus, it became necessary that I also add Eiffel Tower to my itinerary during a short journey to France. Armed with a video camera and a battered English-French dictionary, I headed off to meet the most beloved memorial in France.

Despite my hindrance in grasping their language, I felt words were unrequired as I stood below Eiffel Tower. True to the code of awestruck tourists, I instantly took pictures of myself and the tower, desiring that my digital camera can take in that much data without erasing my other photos. Someone behind me commented that there was a renowned restaurant found at its apex; however, it was frightfuly expensive, and I probably needed a reservation. It was a bit depressing that I was unable to go up to Jules Verne, but I figured it was sufficient that I was in Paris -- with the prized photos, anyway.
