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.
