I love the Paris Metro, he added.

Al and I went out in our skivvies and got in the hot tub, Guthrie said.

The odd hours with the time difference often means theyre out enjoying the cities when no one else is.
Roker wrapped first and got to the bar ahead of the others.
We just loved walking on the Left Bank and along the Seine.

We stayed in the tiniest hotel, and loved it.
It was what Paris should feel like.Al Roker:My daughter has lived in Paris for about six years.
You walk around and grab stuff for either lunch or dinner.

You just feel like you are in Paris.
Theres also a French American breakfast place called Eggs&Co.
I personally love getting tips from friends of where the good vintage shopping is.

Have a glass of wine, then you have an Ambien, but only when the wheels are rolling.
Who gets to the airport the earliest?Kotb:I’m an early arriver.
Hoda, you’ve been such an enthusiastic supporter of gymnastics!
I often miss a lot of it because my eyes are closed and I’m watching through my fingers!
I get a pit in my stomach and I stress eat.
Think about walking along a beam that’s as thick as your phone I get anxiety watching it!
What are your thoughts on this years team?Kotb:This year’s team is amazing!
Those who have been-there-done-that, they understand the stress and pressure.
To have her there is going to add this jolt of just being wide-eyed.
I like that she’s part of it because she’s reminding those guys how delightful it all is.
So it’s gonna be good.
They’re going to win gold!
What sports are the rest of you excited about?Melvin:Swimming is always fun to watch.
I love basketball I used to play many years ago and I coach my son’s rec league team.
Also, these are professional athletes, playing in their offseason.
They’re risking injury and they don’t get paid for it.
They do it for the love of country.
It’s fun to watch the best of the best compete.
The women will dominate as they have over [nearly] 20 years.
The international men’s basketball game has gone up a notch.
[Most of the recent] MVPs in the NBA are foreign born.
The Greek team is awesome.
The French team is playing on their home court and are awesome.
I also like sports that we don’t get to see every day.
I actually really enjoy track and field, like shot put and the long jump.
But I first discovered beach volleyball in Athens.
It was like, oh my gosh, this is a party.
Nobody had seen it and you could just walk in and you didnt even need a ticket.
Now its just unbelievable.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
Simone came out of nowhere people couldn’t pronounce her name, and now she’s something special.
Savannah and I were also just talking about Mary Lou Retton.
We don’t get to play together a lot because we keep odd hours at work.
So, for me, that’s the highlight.
