X'mas Break: The lure of the Eiffel

Pictures taken on the 28th of December, 2008

haha.. i was trying to be arty by calling it that
but really.. the eiffel does attract lots of different people
and since i've been there twice (and the weather was crap)
i was more interested in the vendors and the visitors



A man preparing his charcoal stove
i thought he was going to sell roasted chestnuts
but it could just be my imagination since i miss home!



others hawk anything from keychains, little keepsakes, even scarfs and hats..
as they play cat-and-mouse with the patrol



a vendor arranges his paintings..
i think the stars on the eiffel are very ugly!



and the visitors..
doesn't this couple look really glam?



they came in different clothing..



and differnt sizes too..





a carousel near the eiffel
which gave bored kids a chance to play after they put up with their parents ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the eiffel
