I woke up feeling almost 100% finally. That's the best start to today.

We started out this morning by wandering over to the Eiffel Tower. We came across a market, and stopped there and looked at lovely stuff (and saw a ton of seafood). When we got to the Tower, there was a ridiculously huge crowd of people lined up to get tickets. The sun was already beating down and there was no shade, so we decided not to go to up the Tower. We stopped for ice cream, then found ourselves on Champs Elysees, but at a different spot then the other day, right near the Arc de Triomphe. After lunch, we decided to go up the Arc, and take a look from there. The only option was to walk up, which wasn't bad, but there's something about spiral staircases that I don't like. It feels unending. We took some lovely pictures, climbed back down and then walked along Champs Elysees. I did a little shopping and we took the Metro back since the bandaids on my blisters were poking then and quite uncomfortable.
One more day left!
