I think I've underestimated just exactly how tall the Eiffel tower really is. The "first level" that this picture was taken from is 19 stories high. The tower itself-- is over 90 stories high!
- 300 iron workers, for the two years 1887-89,
- 2.5 million rivets,
- 15,000 pieces of iron,
- 40 tons of paint,
- Total tower weight: 9441 tons (8.56 million kg)

Whoa! The people look like ants!
Ants? Yeeeesh, that gives me the heebie geebies. I prefer to think of them as minuscule people, thank you.
Yay Eiffel Tower! The park around there is beautiful.
