Day 2 - June 22, 2008

Day 2 started en route to Paris. The plane took us right over Normandy, which made Jena happy. One of our Baptist friends shouted out a big “Hallelujah!” when the plane touched down.

The flight was delayed twenty minutes getting to Charles de Gaulle so our anticipated potty or snack break didn’t happen. Emily, Liz and Heidi were the last to get through security (which on a connecting flight shouldn’t that be unnecessary anyway?) and ran up to the gate when they were about to close last call.

June air in Paris is chewable, and between the long security line and the stuffed bus ride out to the plane on the tarmac, most weren’t impressed with their only breath of French air.

More to come tomorrow, but we’re all safe, well, and tired. Night!
