Paris.
My bike and trailers and panniers arrived in perfect condition. Not need it to take off the air and put on a
box and all that hassle. Zoom Airlines manager in Vancouver, a east Indian guy whose name don’t
remember, performs a great job. Thanks Zoom > one more time!  

This is a half of dozen times that I arrived in the French capital. This time, I cycled out of CDG (Roissy)
toward Reins, in the Champagne region. I use to talk on the MSN to Kike Galeano, a Paraguayan
refugee lives at La Maison de Journalists, not far from Eiffel Tower but, in order to get his phone number I
must go online and this is a difficult task in France. The unsecured wireless network is controlled by
companies such as Orange and Neuf and if there is a security available network, the owner doesn't know
the password. Apparently, the purpose of this measure is to avoid Internet abuse and, of course, the
cyclist like me > wondering around for a free connexion. Anyways, finally I contact Kike and that was
about 8 PM, local time > still some sun light on the very busy horizon of airplanes arriving and departs
from Charles De Gaulle. Kike really insist me to go “ce soir” to central Paris, despite the 40 Km distance
from Villeparisis, around there. I guessed that will be there at midnight but was almost 3 hours late of it.
Too much. Then Kike said: “You need to get up as early as 08:30 and leave because I need to go
somewhere for a week” That’s exactly was happened. >> To be continue...
