My daily 15 min bike ride to the beach!

I suggest you put the video on silent because I was having trouble adding a song! 

Tour de France 2012

Thanks to a phone call from the family's friend, we found out that the Tour de France was riding through the neighboring town! So we all quickly finished lunch and jumped in the car to see it! As we walked up to the road, we weren't sure if we had missed it, but to our luck we were just in time!  Before the bikers, many cars covered in advertisements passed through beeping their horns. After the bikers, helicopters swarmed the air as they recorded it for all the people at home.  From the start of the race, my family has been watching bits and pieces after dinner or on the weekend. It was great to experience the energy and excitement of all the people waiting and cheering everyone on.

Crepe Time!

Yesterday I learned how to make crepes! They are quiet simple.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
2. Heat a lightly buttered frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. If there is any extra batter, pour in back into the mix.
3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side.
