Our next tour experience lasted all day and was an amazing site to see. We camped out all day and watched the riders come in with their amazing speed and determination. The press hounded the riders as soon as the riders crossed the finish line. Some were foaming at the mouth, but the press shoved their mics in anyways. Kelly said they seem like paranas attacking their prey.
Before the riders actually ride past you their is a parade/fair. People throw out hats, trinkets, and best of all food. The two men taking a sample of French sausage are from England. They spent a couple of days camped right next to us. We had a good time talking with them!
Parade of hat throwers. You can see everyone sports the same yellow hat due to the give aways.
This photo shows the winner of the stage (green points jersey) sprinting to the finish line. It was over before we knew what hit us. But the next day we would have an all day Tour experience.
We have not posted in so long. Our return to the states has been crazy and we just havn't been able to put an end up to our fantastic trip. Well I'm going to try and throw up some stuff from our last days, so everyone can see stuff from the Tour de France(above), Paris, and England adventures.
