Eiffel Tower visit for the 4th of July! We also visited Sacra Couer where a scary gang of African string men tried to extort us. These guys run a con where a bunch surround you and try to put African bracelet strings on your arm without your permission, then intimidate you into paying them. The Paris police had absolutely zero officers in the area with thousands of tourists and dozens of these con men tryi g to prey on them. After I cursed at one of them Laurel pointed out that there was a big gang of them around us and I should be more careful. Fortunately we escaped!
We left at 1pm and got back at midnight. 9 hours of walking and two hours of eating! Tired.
