The view from the top of the ferris wheel. In the foreground is an Egyptian obelisk from Luxor, which felt both somewhat out of place yet also strangely fitting given what we'd seen on the previous day. In the background, at the end of the Champs-Elysses, is the Arc de Triomphe.

After we came down, we walked back to our hotel (having unfortunately given up on getting the Velo Libre to work -- next time). We got up early the next morning and flew home to San Francisco, ending what was quite an action packed 3 weeks.
