“Why are you wearing that thing, Mark? We’re not on a camping trip. Do you really need a backpack?” Anna asked.
                  Mark ignored her question.
                  “It’s cold up here,” Mark said as the doors opened and they stepped out. “You can feel the tower moving! I don’t think I like this!”
                  “Come on, Mark. Don’t whine. Look at the view. It’s magnificent. You can see all of Paris from here. Let’s take the stairs up and go all the way to the top. We can take pictures from up there,” said Anna.
                  “You go. I’m feeling a little queasy. This motion is making me dizzy. I’ll wait for you right here on this bench,” Mark said as he sat and put his head in his hands.
                  Jeff approached just then. “Is he all right?”
                  “He’s having a minor panic attack. Apparently he’s afraid of heights.”
    “Go ahead, Anna. I don’t want you to miss out because of me. I’ll be fine. Here’s my camera. Take some pictures for me, please.”
    “Are you sure, Mark?” Anna started for the stairs, not waiting for an answer. “I won’t be long. I’ll take lots of pictures for you.”
                  She glanced back to see the brunettes and Jeff hovered around Mark in a concerned manner.
                  The view from the top was amazing and Anna quickly forgot the scene from the lower level. Cars looked like tiny toys and people resembled ants crawling all over the city. She took picture after picture. Then, feeling a twinge of guilt, she hurried back down the stairs to see how Mark was.
                  “How are you feeling?” Anna asked with genuine concern. “Are you ready to go back down? It’s lunchtime.”
                  “I’m better. I think I’m just hungry. The croissants this morning didn’t fill me up. Let’s go back down now. I’m ready for lunch,” replied a pale Mark as he put his arm around Anna’s shoulders and kissed the top of her head.
                  Mark continued, “Jeff and his sisters were really nice. They were truly concerned about me. He said he works with you at the hospital.”
                  “His sisters? Those are his sisters?” Anna asked.
                  “Yes. They have an ancestor that came from Versailles . Jeff promised them years ago they would make a trip someday to see where their great-great…I don’t know how many greats…grandfather was from. His sisters just finished college, so this is his graduation gift to them,” Mark explained.
                  “Are you sure? Those are his sisters?” Anna asked.
                  “Yes. Who did you think they were?”
                  “I had no idea. They don’t look like him, so I didn’t think they could be his sisters. Pretty silly of me, huh?”
                  Mark chuckled and shook his head. “Actually, it’s pretty kinky of you. You thought it was a threesome, didn’t you?”
                  Anna blushed but didn’t answer Mark.

                  As the bus drove around the circular place Etoile, Lurline pointed to the Arc de Triomphe. “This structure was completed in 1836. It was commissioned by Napoleon to celebrate his victorious armies. Unfortunately, there is currently some renovation taking place and we’re unable to get a good look at it. It’s mostly covered by the scaffolding and drapes that you see. This is commonplace in Europe with the ancient structures that are constantly in need of work to keep them from deteriorating. We’ll proceed on down the Champs Elysees to the area where most of the restaurants are.”
                  The bus soon pulled to a stop. Lurline made sure everyone had maps and were certain they knew how to get back to the hotel before allowing
