Lonely At The Eiffel Tower?

Embracing solo travel with courage

AUGUST 31, 2021

How many dreams or "somedays" lurk in the deep recesses of your mind, surfacing now and then like a mixture of heartburn and hunger? At my age, I've known too many people set to retire only to be diagnosed as terminal or plan that once-in-a-lifetime trip only to be faced with a financial setback. My point: live for today.

This was my second visit to Paris, and I was determined to visit the Eiffel Tower, toast champagne from its heart-palpitating observation deck, and experience more of the Parisian lifestyle. This was a huge life-list checkmark for me.
