2013 Volleyball Tour Blog Tour #3  – Day 8 Paris Tournament day 2.5

Today is the final day of our 2 1/2 day tournament… Each of our USA teams played this morning for placement in the U20 tournament.  The older U18 defeated the U16 team in close games 25-18, 25-23.

The USA U14 team Haley played the Italian team and lost 25-22 and 25-16. The USA U14 team Russ played a local French team (the French team had to borrow one of the boys on the trip and one of our girls to field a team….. and won (assisted by the US players ) 25-23 and 25-23.

It was not time to go visit Paris…. And we

jumped onto the hop on hop off bus and began our Paris visit.  The day was warm and the sun was shining bright on us as we were sitting on the top of the double Decker bus.  As we made our way through Paris… some of us started falling to sleep in the warm sun.  As we had people on two separate buses, we decided not to take a group photo because everyone wanted to go their separate ways

We went to the left bank area to get some food … this is a area filled with restaurants … a perfect place for those who are hungry. 

After lunch… Individual groups of people continued on with the hop on hop off tour… while others wanted to go directly to the Eiffel tower.  Still others went to Sacre Coure to get a vista of Paris.

No matter where people went… It was a day filled with volleyball and sightseeing.

Tonight is our night train to Barcelona... we depart Paris at 10:20pm and arrive to Barcelona at 9:45am the next day
