Smart move....

Apparently, a parachutist wasn't entirely successful as he jumped from the second level of the Eiffel Tower. Since I visited Paris in February (see above picture), I remember how far up just the second platform was from the ground....and carefully hid out in the gift shop after briefly looking at the panorama from the *center* of the level. Meanwhile, my nearly-as-daredevil-as-the-parachutist husband was practically hanging out over the edge taking pictures from there and at the very top....and he unfortunately had no parachute. Fortunately, however, he did survive the adventure.
