Coming to Paris, I expected the fashion to be incredible, and I can honestly say that I was not disappointed.  The number of women walking around in heels stunned me—especially on the day that it rained (how are you not worried you are going to slip and fall??).  The best thing was seeing a woman in incredibly high stiletto heels climbing down the stairs of the Eiffel Tower.  Keep in mind that the stairs were made of metal and had holes in them.  I saw another woman walking around the gardens of Versailles in the rain in heels—as I stomped around and jumped in puddles in my big, bulky rainboats.  To say I was impressed is an understatement.
