Brett "Not Exactly Indiana" Jones

We set out on Friday with a new leader and a new strategy. Our leader was Brett. Up to this point of the trip we had given him a hard time on not having any idea where we are. So what do you do when you entrust directions to a man who could get lost in a supermarket? You turn a blind eye to time and pray that you get to the ultimate destination.

Fortunately for John and Ryan's sake, Brett did a great job. We set off to find the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and we found it. What a spectacular example of Gothic architecture, and a true credit to Brett's navigational abilities!


As we left Notre Dame, we headed towards a K-State family's house. A friend of the Grice's and a sister of Ryan and John's teacher this fall, we were looking forward to meeting Jean and Phillip, both who graduated from K-State. As we walked along the Seine (what a tough life), we realized our fearless leader, Brett, had forgotten the map to navigate the perilous streets of Paris. So here we were, Three Men, Lost Abroad.


Fortunately we made it to our destination, only to enjoy the meal of a life-time, a 7 course meal. Jean and Phillip were more than accommodating, as we received everything from appetizers, to fruit, to venison, to chicken and pasta, more fruit, fromage (French for cheese) and then to desert. We all left stuffed and happy, as we thoroughly enjoyed the company! Thank you Jean and Phillip.

After leaving our hosts, we decided to stop by the Eiffel Tower at midnight, just in time to see the Tower light up with a magnificent light show. What an incredible evening. Tomorrow we will see where Paris takes us. After all, we are just Three Men, One Summer Abroad.
