Whenever I go somewhere  MAY 17 2001

Whenever I go somewhere and see something famous, I'm often surprised at how that something is deserving of its reputation. The Eiffel Tower is one such something. I've seen the ET thousands of times before in various depictions of Paris and France (try and find a postcard from Paris without the ET on it), but nothing quite compares with seeing it in person. It really is that impressive.
