Hello, we are in Paris because I thought I'd come and check out the Olympics, it being so rare that the Olympics is basically on your doorstep, a two hour train ride away.
Although when I arrived, I bumped into the belgian judo team, who were going home with their Olympic themed suitcases and they seemed quite grumpy.
Hi, guys, it's Adam from the BBC.
Which sport are you guys?
Judo.
Did you win?
Nope.
Have you had good games?
No.
Don't know if that's because they've not done very well in the Olympics or whether they'd been a victim of the egg shortage in the athletes village.
History will judge.
Anyway, right where I am now is in one of the fan zones in a really nice park in central Paris.
It's really hot.
There's a basketball court where some people are trying their hand at the hoops.
There's a little pitching putt which the kids are doing.
Oh, I'm quite jealous of them.
I'd quite like to have a go at that.
I think that's the only Olympic sport I could possibly ever qualify for.
Mini golf.
