Paris Day 2 Continued

We also ate small sweet strawberries from a Marche and the best pasteries from a Boulangerie-Bakery (which is now my favorite french word-ask Jon I drove him mad repeating it over and over). We sat next to some New Yorkers and chatted it up!












After eating, we finally made it to the Eiffel Tower via the Metro (subway). When we got off the Metro, this is what we saw. Ugly buildings, kids spray painting and ahh oui, "Metal Asparagus". We could understand why some french named it the latter.
Aren´t we cute!

But the bottom is much better than the top in my opinion. It was the "gateway" for the worlds fair in the late 1800´s. Aren´t we cute?
