The End

After I got back to my little room, I packed up and got ready to leave in the morning. I felt very sad at leaving, it was such a wonderful holiday, but I had one last thing to do "on my list." I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower at night, both lit up and then also with the sparkly lights going.

I waited until twilight and then walked over, as I rounded the corner and saw the lights looking so golden against the mauve sky I was quite taken aback. I hadn't really expected such beauty.

At the top of the hour, for about 10 minutes, the whole contraption explodes with a series of twinkling, glittering, star-like lights. It was amazing, and it felt like a nice ending to my time in Paris.
