The International Family


Like I've likely mentioned before, our little family is quite the international crew right now. I'm in Paris, Sara and both our families are in the US and Sara's brother Tyler is serving his mission in Sydney, Australia. We noticed in the top of the Eiffel Tower they have the names of cities in the direction that you are looking out the window and how far out they are. We got pictures of how far away our loved ones are from us. Tyler is 16962 kilometers away (10177 miles) out that way. Of course there was no sign pointing the way to home, but Los Angeles is the closest, so LA is 9105 kilometers away out the other way. Lets see, that's 5463 miles, so we were probably about really super far from home. Wow, that is a long ways. Can you believe that such distances can be traveled in this day and age within only one day. Amazing. Its not a small world after all.
