Sorry I haven't written sooner, but we've been crazy busy in Paris, and I wanted to wait until after our next game to write.
Paris is beautiful! We took a boat tour along the Seine the other night and got to see the entire city lit up. This morning we took a walking tour and learned a little about the city and its culture. We spent some time walking and shopping along the Champs-?lys?es (I hope someone is checking my French spelling!).
Tonight we played Vanves Basket. Despite the game getting a bit crazy, with a few technical fouls and some long conversations with the referees, we were able to pull out the game by 11 points in the final quarter.
We're leaving for Nice tomorrow afternoon. We play one more game against a team in Monaco, then hopefully the weather will be nice enough for us to enjoy the beach a bit in the south of France.
Au Revoir,
Foley
