Random JC Thoughts

Here are a few run-on thoughts that I’d like to remember:
➢ Tour de France following is a cyclist’s dream!
➢ There are an amazing amount of fan’s parked on the route up and down the Col de la Columbiere climb way in advance. Most of these are all campers and you wouldn’t have guessed the people were big cycling fans, they were more like old geezers, no offense meant.
➢ An incredible physical feat of biking the climb was taken on by tons of fans. I was thoroughly impressed and felt very weak in their presence
➢ The atmosphere of the ski town (Le Grand Bornand – French Alps) makes us want to work internationally at a town like this during the Winter season (being bilingual is necessary)
➢ Camping is popular in France but they don’t know how to keep their tents dry
➢ Waking up to the sound of the dairy cow’s cowbells on the Alps was surreal
➢ Can’t find a decent in expensive wine…rouge or blanc (time to learn the region I suppose)
➢ L’Escale camping on "international row" included a French family, 2 Aussie guys, 7 Dutch guys, Us, and one French girl, Elodie, who works for the French embassy in accounting after being at the border for a while where she learned some English from the Swiss
➢ No one sells White gas for our stove!
➢ Left my Livestrong bracelet at home not wanting to stand out as an American but a tons of fans are wearing them…good to see that Lance is an international sport hero/star
➢ Men wear short shorts!
