i 've been in france for a month , and though i have ridden the elevators to the top of la tour eiffel ( mer took me while st. clair and rashmi waited below on the lawn-st. clair because he 's afraid of falling and rashmi because she refuses to do anything touristy ) , and though i have walked the viewing platform of l'arc de triomphe ( mer took me again , of course , while st. clair stayed below and threatened to push josh and rashmi into the insane traffic circle ) , i still have n't been to the movies .
