Instrutor 45 visits Instrutor Atoa in Paris 2006

Instrutor 45 visited Instrutor Atoa, his best friend, in January of 2006. In Bahia, they were unseparable, always training together.
45 tells stories about how they would train at eight in the morning, in January in Paris. Anyone who has been to Paris that time of year, knows that the only thing to do is sit in a café and drink hot chocolate and of course all the amazing indoor museums. Could you train in the park early mornings in the height of winter?
Have a look at some fun sightseeing and class pictures of Instrutor 45 in Paris.
