I presume Athenayama is on the far left, then it is (for certain) Gaijingai, Jakusotsu and Pitinosato.

[Athenayama]

I just would like to confirm what you all knew already. @Gaijingai @Jakusotsu and @Pitinosato (in alphabetical order!) are really awesome people. I'm very happy and honored that I had this opportunity to meet them. Great sense of humor, easygoing, I don't know where to start. If anyone in the future has this opportunity, don't miss it !

Thank you guys, I hope I can call you my friends, it would be an honor.

Too bad you can't see this was taken at a 34th floor sky bar, one of the many treats our exquisite tour guide aka Athenayama-zeki provided.

We really had a great time in Paris 

Big big thanks to Athenayama for his incredible hospitality !!!

And big thanks to him to be our guide !!
The best and nicest guide you can imagine, we have seen so much we would never have seen without him.

He is also a true parking and driving Yokozuna   

The traffic in Paris is sometimes really crazy, I will never forget the circle around the Arc de Triomphe

Right. After knowing him for more than 20 years, it was about time!

And in case anyone might wonder about the band-aid, I just want to know how Gaijingal reacted when he came home.

Yes, I'm very late but did I mention that Pitinosato is an excellent photographer??

Too bad his photography doesn’t match his Bench Sumo skills….such as they are!

when I got home to America, a few days later, my wife swooned, caressed my injured face, and treated me like a God… she gave me burnt offerings for dinner! I had the time of my life in Paris with you guys. I told my wife I want to take her back to Paris next year. She says no way. Her traveling days are over. Bummer.
