We Made it to Paris with our Bikes

After a little panic at Boston Logan Airport because the luggage transport system had broken down, which gave us concern that our bikes wouldn't make it onto the plane, everything turned out fine. We arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with all of our baggage. From there, we took a cab to the bike store where we had pre-arranged to have our bikes reassembled. Tomorrow we begin our 5-week, 1700 mile ride to Istanbul.
