!!Building It Baby!!
It was built as a tribute
to the French Revolution.
Only one man died while

Many people didnt like
the idea of building it.

The Eiffel Tower was only meant
to last through the Exposition
but it is still standing today. It
was the tallest building until the
completion of the Chrysler
Building in 1930.

An
EXTRAORDINARY
Sight

?Would I Like To Go?

I would love to visit the Eiffel
Tower. As a matter of fact, it is
one of the places I plan to visit
when I get out of college. I think
it is an extraordinary sight and it
just amazes me. I also think its
amazing how they built it way
back then without all the
technology we have nowadays.
