We rode all the way to Paris today. Complete with an Eiffel Tower (nevermind the fact that there is a large, red cowboy hat on top…). Fun.
Team Blueberry was on support again today. Our amazing hosts at the United Methodist Church in Greenville, TX prepared breakfast for us, so our morning was pretty easy. I rode sweep van with Travis, our poor injured rider. The morning was really laid back and restful – no injuries, flats, or other problems.
We had a fun time following the riders and relaxing in the sun.
We ended our ride at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Pretty impressive. They created their original 65 foot Eiffel Tower in 1993 (in tradition with all cities named Paris). However, in response to the creation of a 70 foot Eiffel Tower in Paris, TN in 1993, in 1995 Paris, TX added a large, red cowboy had to the top of their Eiffel Tower. Oh, rivalries. They never get old. And they get even more entertaining in the south…
The local news, Channel 99, came out to film a staged “ride-in” and interview some of our riders. We are famous.
We are staying at the First Methodist Church here in Paris, TX. They are treating us amazingly, as well. After settling in, we set out to explore the town of Paris, TX. It is a really cute town.
We found ourselves this awesome little diner, Jaxx Gourmet Burgers. 
They have delicious food, an amazing beer selection (much more than we would expect from small-town, Texas), and (probably best of all, although it could be tied with the amazing beer selection) free internet. Fun. I love Paris. 
End of the twenty-sixth day. And it was springtime in Paris. I love Paris (Texas) in the Springtime…
