Paris is beautiful. Have I mentioned that? Also: people here are fine. I haven't seen any of the supposed Parisian contempt for Americans. If you are polite, so are they. This leg of the trip has been difficult, but because of the tour, not because of Parisians.

Maybe it's the Boston driver in me, but I think I could survive driving in Paris. It's not so bad as all that. They follow their own rules, which aren't so different from what I learned growing up.

Your honor, I was under orders not to let the sun go down on me. And I didn't. The ensuing planetary catastrophe isn't my fault.

I've never slept so well as I have in Paris. 10+ hours like the dead. Slept through alarms yesterday, nearly did so today. Just wheel me into the catacombs; I'm ready.
