Monaco and Beyond

Life's too short. We live only once, and we should live so that at the end we don't regret that we lived it the wrong way. So, get up and explore what's around! Travel, laugh, eat well, entertain yourself, be good to others, and share - whatever you have to offer. This blog isn't just about beautiful Monaco. It's about travel, experiences, fun, food, people, animals, and much more. I'd like it to be a place where people can relax, enjoy some reading and photos, and, perhaps, find travel ideas.

Eiffel Tower: here, there, and everywhere

The Eiffel Tower is so popular that besides the original tower in Paris, there are quite a few large and small copies in the United States. I will tell you about only two of them today.

The original tower was built in 1889 for the World's Fair and today it is one of the most visited monuments in the world. It's interesting that the Parisians at first disliked the structure, but today it's hard to imagine Paris without this "Iron Woman" that is 330 metres (1,083 ft) tall.
