Terrence Smith’s Blog from Paris

Here is the seventh blog of the trip:
 
TURNN UPP MANNN!! I'm so thankful and blessed to have this opportunity to be somewhere I have only dreamed of.
 
First off, I'd like to thank the NJIT community for making this trip possible. I've enjoyed every second of it.
 
Today, we started off the day right with an amazing breakfast and shortly after; we got on the bus and toured Paris.  Even though it was raining, the city was still beautiful.
 
I was surprised to find out that a lot of places aren't open on Sundays. The team was able visit the Eiffel Tower for a solid 10 minutes due to the rain.
 
Shortly after my nap, I woke up in front of The House of Versailles.  Ky Howard, Damon Lynn, and I were able to find a restaurant that served American food. Finally I could get some buffalo wings!! The food was amazing! Fantas are so goood in Europe!!
 
Due to the rain and the long wait, we weren't able to go inside the palace. The team came back to the hotel and my brothers and I went shopping....I mean why not? We're in the fashion capital of the world.
 
Sadly, the day is coming to an end and tomorrow is show time.
 
It's been an unbelievable experience with the team.  I can't wait for the season to start so we can shock the world.
 
Thanks for the support and can't wait to see y'all at the games.
 
One love, I'm out.

The next two games on the tour are in France, with a visit to Juvisy on August 26 and Trappes on August 27. Juvisy (full name: Alerte de Juvisy Basket) and Trappes (L'Etoile des Cheminots Trappes/Saint-Quentin en Yvelines) are the final two opponents.
