Our romantic evening!

So we have noticed that there are many couples and honeymooners in Paris. Oh no, not us, so we decided to join the groups outside the Eiffel Tower and have some wine and crepes. It was absolutely gorgeous. At 10 pm - 10:10pm the tower sparkles and then it stays lit for the rest of the night. Is this a problem that we know exactly what time this happens? Then of course we all had to go to the bathroom so we decided to head back to the hostel, only to find out the train drivers were on strike. So we had to wait approx. 50 minutes for one train! It was torture! Finally after arriving at our Metro stop we walked super fast and ran to the bathroom. These towns do not condone healthy hydration!
