European Vacation - Tour De France


We headed out of Austria on Tuesday with sore legs, but visions of Lance Armstrong on the Tour. We made a short stop in Venice where I got to see Joel in long pants for the first time ever. The drive through the Alps was amazing with tunnel after tunnel. I am amazed that someone was able to build the road right through the mountains. It must have been quite the project. We stayed in a small town in Southern France and then spent three days on the Tour. We were able to see Lance and his team a bunch of times at both the start and finish of stages. IT is absolutely amazing how these guys do it. The excitement in the French towns is electric and you can feel it as the racers get closer. I want to come back and follow the tour again for a much longer time sometime down the road.
