Day one of the Goodwill Tour provided us with an opportunity that was very unexpected. Our flight from
Kennedy
Airport to Paris was delayed and it forced us to miss our flight from Paris to
Rome. Being that we were in Paris from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. the staff decided to take us on a trip to the city of
Paris. We viewed several pieces of artwork and war emblems. We were privileged to see the

Eiffel
Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Champs-Elysees. There was an amazing number of people on hand to witness these fascinating places. As we finished our day of tourism we jumped on a 7 p.m. flight to
Rome. When our plane landed we met our very generous bus driver Carlo who took us to our hotel. When we arrived at our hotel we began to feast on a great meal. All in all it was a very satisfying day.
