These were his words.  Anyone who knows Dan, knows that he doesn't get "over the top" excited like wifey about anything really.  I have to shake him and say "isn't it exciting", "come on, amuse me".  It never works.

Well, yesterday I received an email from him that I will keep forever.  It was so full of excitement.  He said that "he was having a fantastic day!"  After he took care of all the necessary paperwork, he was shown to his office and from there, a number of colleagues that new him from trade shows and visits to Texas came in and welcomed him. 

They  went to the cafeteria for lunch which Dan said was "out of this world".  After lunch, they went for a walk, as a large group.  They walked around the park near work by the large hot air balloon that takes tourists up for a birds eye view of the city.  He said that they did not talk business on the walk but of current events and life.  This is customary, they shared with Dan.  Once back to the office, they all had an espresso and then went back to work. 

Dan said that he is certain not every day will be like his first but what a beautiful introduction of his "work life" in Paris.  I was so happy for him I could have burst!
