France: Days 3, 4, 5 & 6

Day 3: I went to work and Jess was settling in, i.e.: sleeping. That night we had dinner at a Chinese food restaurant with my boss, his wife and a few other company officials. It was actually the best meal we had the whole trip.

Day 4: I went to work and Jess went on a walking tour of "the Latin district:" in Paris where she learned that France's abolishment of beheading occurred in 1982 mostly because of an unjust sentence. Two guillotines still exist. Later that night we found a local pizza parlor for sustenance.



Day 5: Jess went to work with me. They gave her a VIP pass. I felt like it was "bring your girlfriend to work day" day. We pretty much sat around taking pictures of Sean Fister (World Long Driving Champion) for souvenir photos. From day one I knew I had to take a "up above" picture of the booth (see JLG picture from May 1st post). This involved going up in their highest lift. The Luxlift is a 5 by 12 foot platform that extends vertically approximately 10 stories tall. I have to admit that I was scared. Jess wanted to go up with me. Here she is standing by a really big tire, filming me on the Luxlift and winning a T-shirt at another booth.



Day 6: My work was done early in the morning and we made our way into downtown Paris. Our new room was small but nice. We were across the street from a Metro Station and had access to most of the city. We immediately headed for the Eiffel Tower and spent most of the day there. We went to the top and had ice cream at the bottom. We were then overcome by exhaustion before the sun went down. Our sleeping pattern was caught somewhere between California and Paris time. Please enjoy the following photos. I appear twice. Like Waldo, find me. Hint: It's not very hard.
