Today was our second day in Paris, and we started it off by visiting the Louvre. 

Coach Arbeznik took us around the museum, explaining the works of art. We saw a lot of paintings, including the Mona Lisa. 

There were many paintings from Roman time periods, all holding one central idea, the state above family. Without a guide like Coach Arbeznik, we would have been just looking at art without any meaning behind it. 

Next, we went to prepare for the match today against an under 18 French rugby team. The players on their team were very skilled fundamentally, but we still won the game. It was a physical game and to our surprise, as soon as the game ended they began cheering and were very kind to all of us. 

One French player shouted something in French and one of our players translated it to mean, "let's take a family picture."  After that, we all took a picture with the teams mixed together.  After that we all traded clothes with the other team so that they could have some Ignatius gear and we could have some of their French club gear. 

Then, we went out to dinner with them and they gave us baguettes with cheese and ham. The French were very friendly and a few even promised to come see our other games while we are in France. 

At the end of the day, we had a great match and a great time with our rugby family from France.
