Tim, Bruce, Walt, Rick and Jim all arrived safely in Paris this morning. They are quite tired as none of the had much sleep on the plane. If you can imagine Tim and Bruce shoulder to shoulder on those "spacious" seats, you'll understand why sleeping was difficult.

The trip to the concierge's station to drop off their 17 bags at the Paris airport was a challenge, but they made it, took the train into the city and met up with Rob Plaster, a missionary in Paris. After lunch and a tower of the city: Eiffle Tower, Notra Dome, Arch de Truimph, the Louve, they went to the airport hotel to get some much needed sleep.

They will start their day at 5am their time (11pm ours), leave Paris at 9am and land in Bangui around supper time.

Thanks everyone for your prayers thus far. I will update this blog as often as Tim can send me info.
