234 meters high!

Everyone knows about the Eiffel Tower. When I went toParis, I got to go to the very top of the tower. I could see for miles! I also found out that the Tower gets repainted every 7 years, and takes 3 years to paint it. There are 25 painters and they only use bushes to paint the Tower. If you were to paint the Eiffel Tower, you would use 60 tons of paint. That is 120,000 pounds of paint. I can't even imagine what that would look like if it were in a bunch of buckets.
