Construction of the Eiffel Tower

The construction of the Eiffel Tower amazes my husband. He works in construction and every time we go an visit the eiffel tower he stands in amazement and always asks how they built it.
Especially because at that time, they didn't have the machines that they do today. So be like, Yilmaz and sit azing at your computer screen in amazement. Because it is one of the most interesting architectural strucutres of our time.

Eiffel Tower View

One day, when my mom and I were sitting in the living room, she asked me if I knew that I could see the Eiffel Tower from our living room window. At first, I thought she was kidding, it seemed more reasonable to me that Sacre Coeur would be visible from our apartment.

We waited until it lit up and sure enough it was the Eiffel Tower in all it's sparkly glory. It is incredible to see it every night light up and from 16 kilometers away. This proves that it is really as big as they say.

We shouldn't let our apartment agency know or the rent might go up !!! An apartment with an Eiffel Tower view, haha!!

While I was home my family and I decided to take a trip to see Paris, Kentucky and compare it's site to that of Paris, France. You can be the judge on which Eiffel Tower is better !
