Eiffel Tower 'most disappointing' tourist spot
The Eiffel Tower, in and of itself, was not disappointing. It was interesting to see, up close and personal. What was disappointing was the lines of tourtists trying to get the to the top of it. Jennifer and I climbed something crazy like 712 steps to get to the second level. But, if you want to get on the elevator to the very top, you really would have to wait a very very long time. Plus, there are guards walking around under it with machine guns, so we did skip that part.
They also said the Mona Lisa was disappointing, and it was. It's a very small painting, and you can't get very close to it due to the crowds. Plus, there's always bomb scares from unattended backpacks. But, having said that, the Louvre is awesome, and the Eiffel Tower is neat to see in real life, just don't waste your time trying to get to the top of it. Life is too short for that.
