Good evening from Paris, Texas!
When planning the last week’s route I couldn’t help but reroute our trip so we could pass through Paris! I mean how often can a cyclist say they rode to Paris?! Even though it shortened my daily average so we could make this a stopping point, it was well worth the alteration.
Today’s ride went by fast, mainly because I was so excited to see the famous Eiffel Tower sporting a classic cowboy hat! WIth 80 miles logged for the day, Dad and I took a bunch of photos with us standing by the Tower. It’s definitely a sight to see if any of you are in the Paris area!
After wrapping up our fun photo-op, we headed to our overnight stay, where Mom had already gotten set up at. To my surprise, the local news station KXII was there wanting to do an interview! Raven Ambers, whom is a lovely lady, interviewed us in the rv and back at the Eiffel Tower. It was a lot of fun getting to share my story and spread the word of bicycle awareness. Seeing it on the evening news was definitely surreal, thank you Raven & News 12!
