How can you come to Paris in the summer and not watch Le Tour de France? Michelle, Lee, and I headed out of Cite U to watch the last stage down Les Champs-Elysees. The wait was long and crowd growing. We made some attempts to get closer to the finish line but were met with barricades. We were afraid we'd miss them. But we'd have a couple hours ahead of us until that. We munched on Lee's peanuts and saw some... interesting floats go by. Finally the crowd started cheering and we readied our camera's for capture. This massive collection of bike jerseys, pedaling limbs, and spinning spokes flew past us. Who was who and many discernible features were lost in the sauce. So maybe I saw Lance Armstrong. Anyway those they zipped by so quickly, especially relative to our wait time, it wad exhilarating to see them go.
