Paris

from Ben's mom

My brother is famous for never doing anything half-hearted. When he sets out to view a national park he has to find a few others to visit at the same time. He has always managed to do everything big.

Until this week I was by far the more well-traveled sibling. By the end of the week, I will no longer be able to make that claim as he has embarked on a ten-country, three-continent world tour for the month of September. Check out his adventures here.

He lovingly sent me a copy of his itinerary so I can trace his travels. I have even found the time zone converter so I can keep up with where he is at the moment. And he has promised post cards. Well, at least one.

So today, it is Paris. I was there as a small child but it is still on my list of places to see someday when the French (collectively; I know there are some great individuals there) are a little nicer. (So you might say it isn't a top priority.)
