Around 3422km in about 150 hours over the course of 23 days. I'm a little tired, but I'm recovering well in Paris. Mom, dad, and my brother have all been helping out and making sure I get enough food and beer into my system to help speed my recovery. I think my secret weapon is ice cream and I'm trying to get it at least twice each day, if not more.
I'm taking a little time to visit the sights in Paris, but having been before, I'm not doing too much in the way of tourist stuff. Today we spent a couple of hours at the louvre, and tomorrow the plan is for a little d'Orsay in the morning before my nap.
Our hotel here is nice and I've finally found a cafe in France that does take away coffee (and they have Starbucks in Paris too, but I'm trying to stick with the little cafes for now).
In hindsight, the logistics were possibly the hardest part of the trip. I'd love to return to France someday with my bike for another round of fun descents, but the next time will be on a tour organized by someone else. More beers, less navigating. More pastries, less gas station sandwiches in the middle of the night...
