Tuesday, Sept 30, 2025

On Tuesday I went to see the Eiffel Tower for the first time.  It was huge! I didn’t have a ticket to go to the top and I didn’t want to stand in a huge line, so I lay down on the grass, in the sun, and looked up, up and up!

I found a statue that pays homage to the persecution the Jews in France from 1940-1944. It is in a prominent position along the Seine and across the street from the Eiffel Tower.  I’m glad it’s here as a reminder.

I walked back home through the Parc du Champ de Mars and saw this sign about wildlife. In a way this sign is also a sign of remembrance.  Before humans laid down cement and built amazing cities, the earth was a parc filled with wildlife.
