This morning our family got up early to drive to Gernoble, France, with our friends Pat and Jim, to view the Tour De France. We found a great place to park, where riders would be passing us on an uphill climb. We joined the thousands of others along the route. First a huge parade passed us, special for the Tour. The people in the floats threw all sorts of freebies our way. Flags from many nations were waving and we were happily cheering each of the riders as they passed. We, of course, cried out USA, USA, USA, as the riders from the states passed, even getting a very tired smile and what seemed like an extra spurt of energy as they passed. The highlight was seeing the polka-dot shirted, the green shirted, the white shirted and the yellow shirted riders. A great day with friends and family. Viva la Tour De France!

That is SO COOL I can hardly stand it. All I have is the Versus channel to get me to the TdF.
