Many of the readers of this blog may be aware of some interesting events in Paris today. Our group is safe and in places that are considered very safe. The first was a natural gas explosion at a bakery on the north side of the city. They are unsure of the cause at this time. This occurred several miles from our group and we were only aware of it through news reports. The police have had a significant presence throughout Paris today. We talked with some and we were advised to avoid the Arch de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees after 12 noon today. Aside from the extra police presence, we have seen a fairly normal city of Paris. The students are very aware that they need to avoid that region and any place where police or yellow vests are found. Please pray that our students will have awareness of their surroundings and be safe and that this city and country will find peace.
Thank you for the update. We continue to pray for safe travels.
