December 6th, 2009
Part two of the day involved much walking, to follow research trail, and then across the Seine, homing-pigeon-like, to the Wheel of Excellence (the new Grande Roue) at the end of Champs-Élysées. After a long wait in the rain we made the loop in the sky and right when we got to the top la Tour Eiffel began to sparkle and continued to do so until just before we touched ground. Magical.
