Paris Trip
Thanks to everyone who came to the seminar in Paris in March 2009: it was a great success. We trained at le cercle d'Aikido Parisien, Anne Ducouret's dojo. We visited most of the major Parisian attractions, or at the very least looked at them since the tickets were a bit on the pricey side, and tried lots and lots and lots of great French cooking.
Photos will be in the gallery soon!
