Day 4 Part 2: Eiffel Tower & Seine Cruise

Thursday, 22nd of June 2017

When I got off the RER I realized I was at the Eiffel Tower, it was right there. Although seeing the tower was not on the top of my list, I thought it would be nice to take a boat ride down the Seine and rest my feet. So, I stopped at a patisserie on my way and enjoyed eating a Tarte chocolate for dinner. It was just about sunset when I boarded the boat and it had started to cool off. Once again, I learned so many things, like, there is a Statue of Liberty in France. I totally did not know this, and I had a much better view of this one, than I did of Lady Liberty when I went to NYC. Also, there is a white house in Paris. Our white house in the US was actually a replica of this smaller white house version in France. Seeing all the bridges and the cool figures carved into them was also very cool and something I couldn’t have been able to see very well from land.

Being out on the water felt so good. There was a cool strong breeze, and I had never been happier to have chills on my arms. I never thought I would want to be cold ever in my life, but this was the end of the heat wave, and you could feel the temperature dropping rapidly to a degree much more comfortable. The boat tour to was definitely worth it to learn about the history of everything around me.

            I also noticed many of the private boats had gardens built on them. I tried to get a good picture but failed, so I’ll have to explain. This boat had a fence, like a wooden fence you’d see in a garden on one side, and potted plants and vines all around its top deck. So freaking cool. I want to live on a boat with a garden, but I probably couldn’t keep the garden alive, my brown thumb and all. Still, so pretty.

I couldn't get over the gorgeous details on all the bridges
