The first leg home

Our first leg is a car ride into Paris. We’ve a hotel room tonight so we are closer to the airport tomorrow morning. Stand-by (or sit if you wish) for photos from tonight’s open-top-bus tour of Paris. Bunch more fun videos from today too that I have to post from Tracy’s phone.

The Seine at dawn

This one’s for Jesse (who’s currently on an expidition sharing Parkour in South Africa) who asked for more photos. This is a shot of the Seine near dawn as we were walking to Notre Dame (in Paris, in case that’s not obvious.)

I surrender!

‘cavalier’ leg-swing qm box-jump repeat repeat repeat *gasp* shady and not quite as hot, but eventually I had to lay down. Done for the day. All of tomorrow’s options apparently include ‘some running’. “Hello? US Embassy? …yes, I need asylum.” #stoopidLifeChoices #soakedInSweat #happyAsAclam

Mom, calm down…

It’s only a splinter! I usually only show the rosy side of travelling and jumping on stuff. Well, seems I picked up a wee sliver of England at RDV XI. (ask me about the barefoot bail into thorns) Yes my tetanus immunization is up to date. THIS is why you should always travel with your personalized med kit… #DIY Tracy trained all day while I did my “wimpy lion with a thorn in its paw” imitation. Hopefully good to go tomorrow #famousLastWords (PSA: early symptoms of Tetanus include jaw spasms, drooling, excessive sweating and irritability? …oh i’ve had that for 45 years then :P

Sizzling hot in Paris

We spent most of the day wandering around the Louvre which is sorta mostly kinda no not really climate controlled. Today I learned the French are straight-up allergic to air conditioning.
