There is another city that has a spell over me and that is Paris! The Eiffel Tower sends my heart racing at just the thought of it! Just to walk under the esplanade is so exciting...then look up and see this global icon of Paris. Thank goodness for the Exposition Universelle of 1889. What a true gift to the world! With all do respect, I so love New Orleans....but no Eiffel Tower.....so I must dream a little dream every now then. I think about the lights at night and how they sparkle and twinkle in neighboring windows....so breath-taking! In 1989 the lights were installed as the 100th anniversary! Great Birthday gift. The year 2000 gave the tower search lights and flashing lights and again in 2008 the Tower received the twelve golden stars of the European Flag all bathed in sparkly blue lights!!! So yes, I am going to keep dreaming of the Eiffel Tower and Celebrating Life!
