We've made it to Paris! After checking out of our hotel this morning, we headed to the train station where we took the chunnel to Paris. Taking the train is NOT like taking an airplane. You are responsible for carrying your luggage through security and onto the train. Our group's luggage overwhelmed the workers and almost delayed the train. The ride was awesome and we were only "under the channel" for about 30 minutes. Once we emerged from "under the channel" we were promptly deposited into France. The train takes you through the countryside of England and Paris and it was just beautiful. Full of green rolling hills and farms, you could have mistaken it for the midwest in the United States. Our motorcoach dropped us at FIAP - our home for the next two weeks. After settling in and eating dinner, we had a short orientation regarding FIAP and the rules and regulations. Tomorrow we meet for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. then off to a city tour of Paris. Our last (and only stop) will be Notre Dame Cathedral where we hope to attend mass at 12:45 p.m.
Madame and I are SOOOO excited to show off Paris - the city of lights - to your girls. We are planning fun and full days. Please know that your girls are being well taken care of and looked after. Stay tuned . . .

Mrs. Webb, Thanks for all the fantastic posts, looks like the girls are having wonderful time. Just a request, can you include the photos you post in the beige word section of the blog rather than the green vertical banner section? For some reason I am able to click on the photos in the beige section and can make them full screen but that does not work in the green section. Merci beaucoup!!
