I ended the last roll on the top stage of the Eiffel Tower, so I should probably get us all down. I followed Joe down and he was kind enough to let me shoot him on the stairs. Let's get down, Joe.

We were doing the usual walking thing and I looked behind me and saw that the Eiffel Tower was backlit by the sunset and thought it looked really interesting. The only thing I don't like is the chain-link fence in the bottom of the shot. 

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. We were on the platform waiting for a metro train and a freight train flew through on the track. I never would have expected it, but now I know that it's not all passenger travel on these rails.

This fountain was on the side of a building in a University area. We stepped out of the metro tunnels and saw this on our way to dinner. I thought the pink columns were a nice touch.

The last morning we were there we went to a local market where fresh produce was being sold in and around an old farmer's market building. In the center of the building was this fountain which I found amusing and slightly unusual.

Back in Fort Wayne at Kate Deschner's party. I brought along my camera to finish off the roll and took some pictures of us having some fun. Here we have 'Baby Zhu' saying hello to everyone.

Here's the setup: place two quarters in a certain placement on the far end of a pool table and a ball near each of the pockets at the far end. Then have someone put their fingers on the balls and tell them the quarters will knock the balls in. Then have someone hit the ball at the quarters. The quarters will launch the ball into the person and they will drop the balls into the pockets as they fall to the ground.

Others were just sitting around such as Kate and Corros who were watching the television in an adjoining room. We had such a great time and wish we could do it all over again. Alas, this is the end so hope you enjoyed the photo collection.
