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.

Best campsite on Earth?
We only walked up for the day. Another couple are settled in for the night. If I’d had more time, I’d have stayed late and hiked down in the dark… what must the night sky look like here? …oh well, we’ll just have to come back. :D

Mountain to myself at 2200m
I rode the upper gondola down and slogged back up a couple hundred meters. There’s no one within a quarter mile. Just this view, the sun, the wind… I believe I’ve discovered the perfect spot for a siesta . . .

Granted, I ascended by gondola, but the view is still impressive!

Au revoir England
Leaving St Pancras station this morning en route to Paris. When I was in high school, I saw a TV show (yes, pre-internet) about some crazy engineers who were going to try tunneling thru the chalk under the channel. “How awesome would it be to ride THAT train?!” Bit sad to say goodbye to all my friends (old and new) in London, but we will meet again! Allez! Allez!

Did you say ‘climbing challenge’?!
Blane setup several climbing challenges in our last session. This was the easiest, but so fun! Was hangin as the coppers rolled by… “and you sir! how old are you?! You should know better!”

Where there’s tea, there’s hope
Turns out the awesome-meter goes to 11. Sea breeze, France is just visible across the Channel… and Kentish Tea. Yes, ok, it’s kitschy, but I _am_ a tourist.

The White Cliffs of Dover
Another thing I thought I’d never see! I came straight from Heathrow …just hiked two hours from the train station at Dover Priory. TOTALLY worth it.

Allo Allo! London calling…
Across the pond. But before I meet up with some other ‘Yanks tomorrow, I’ve a bucket list item to tick off. Heathrow, to Paddington station, to St Pancras station, to a certain Southeastern traing . . .
