Well our plan to each drink a bottle of champagne at the foot of the Eiffel Tower was a success. The tower was decorated with many sparkling white lights that all lit up in 2005. People around the tower had all kinds of dangerous fireworks including m-80's, mortars, etc. These fireworks mixed with a lot of champagne turned the base of the tower into a small battlefield. Shortly after we successfully located an Irish Pub to celebrate the new year into the next morning. Happy New Year Everyone!
