To the Eiffel Tower and Back - May 29

We headed out around 8am, got our croissants, and headed for the Eiffel Tower. It was a bit hazy again, even more so than yesterday, so we decided only to pay to go the first two levels of the tower and save the top for another day. It was absolutely insane down by the Tower, rugby fans were starting to party - BBQs and booze and loud blow horns.
They were still setting up for the Mega Jump, which was going to start at 16:00. So we headed back towards the Champs Elysees. We started looking for a restaurant, and were definitely not in the right area of town for our budget, so after wandering around for about an hour, we B-lined for the area of town we lunch in yesterday. After we made it back (it was close to the Tower) we ended up at the same cafe. I got a great jambon et fromage croissant, the others got a poulet sandwich. We went to a gelato shop after, and had flower shaped cones, THE best ice cream of my life. We sat and talked for a while, then headed for the mega jump.
The park in front of the Tower was packed out with rugby partiers, lots of drunk guys, and it was so crowded that we were shoulder to shoulder trying to make our way through. The jump was so crazy, I'll have to post some pictures of that. He was trying to make a world record for the highest jump. He was standing on a platform that was able to be raised and lowered. He jumped and skated into a big pile of foam and an inflatable wall. It was really neat that we were able to catch that, but we were tired and didn't want to stay much longer.
We walked and were back at 17:00, really tired with sore legs. We just went to the market for dinner, got jambon, fromage, baguette, vin, et chocolat.
