{ Tour de France }

 

Once gain, thank you so much for your support and affection. It means so much to me … I have a lot to catch up but you are all in my mind … I am still in a low power mode but I allow myself  a little time to feel better … Besides this weekend  will be full of enjoyable moments and events and they will sure bring me  some energy ….

It’s tour de France time, a mammoth sport event here   …Really, it is quite a big deal here, whether you are a cycling fan or not … when I was a child we always made everything possible to at least watch in person  one of the numerous stage.  there is a very particular vibrant atmosphere as  huge crowds gather on the edges of the road … patiently waiting (hours) to get a chance to see  the racers … The best part  surely was when the ad campaign vans  distributed candies and many goodies , just before racers arrival …

Now I am lucky enough to live in a area crossed each year by the  Tour de france schedule  (as this region is one of the major mountain stage) !!!  EACH YEAR !!! This year, stage 8 is from Andorre la vieille to saint Girons … Saint Girons being where my parents’ home is …. I live somewhere in between …
In a nutshell if you feel like it and if you are curious to see how gorgeous the landscape is here … just watch the Tour de france tomorrow … you may see me …. a long hair blond girl, with a big flag, tons of friends and the most gorgeous husband ever :)  ….
