Oh, my. That's a large list. I want to do it, but I think I'll have to do it in pieces, just so I can adequately consider and process it all.

I think The Husband and did a combo elevator/walking deal to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, if I remember correctly. We did ulimately make it though, and the view was fantastic, if a little scary.

I definitely want to see David one day, and maybe the Grand Canyon. That would be cool.

Ooh, it was scary that high up? I'm not fond of heights, but I would brave it for the view I think.

I'm telling you, ATPo Gathering at the Grand Canyon. Easy for me, cactuswatcher, and superplin, awesome for everyone else.

Unfortunately finding an affordable place to stay near the canyon is not easy. Flagstaff is insanely expensive and a good long drive. As in Phoenix, winter is actually the better season to visit despite the cold. We could stay in Williams and take the train as a group to the park. But people don't get to spend long at the rim that way. On the bright side if we did have a place to stay there are plenty of other things to see in the area, Sunset Crater (volcano), Indian ruins, Meteor Crater. We'd certainly need plenty of cars for transportation. And we'd have to hone our cat-herding skills. ;o)

It was definitely scary, but I forced myself up to the little barrier wall and made myself look out and about. It was at night, so it was extra awesome. I was trying to pick out the landmarks we'd already visited like Notre Dame and the Louvre and I was trying to figure out what this big beautiful building to the side was. It was gorgeous, mulitiple stories of classical architecture with manicured grounds, but I didn't know what it was. (A passing native told me it was some sort of government building or something.) All in all, I'm very glad that I did it, although I did have to sit down on the ground immediately afterward before I could even begin thinking about regaining my equilibrium and going back down

Depending on which way you were looking it was either the Invalides (former military hospital, now military museum and Napoleon's burial site) or the Palace de Chaillot (various museums).
