Just to name a few&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We discovered a few weeks ago that the great race of France was going to have a stage quite close to us on all days, Bastielle Day 2012. The easiest place to see it was the near-by town of Uz\u00e8s where the activities would start around 11:30am or so. Uz\u00e8s also has a good market on Saturdays making it that much more of a call for us. Of course other blogs on this said stay away, the combination of the race and market would lead to a packed town. Not being deterred I got Kim and Syd up early (8:00am much to Kim and Syd&#8217;s happiness) and we beat it over to the town\u00a0 ahead of the crowds. And you know what it was not that bad. The market itself was was great all things (it seems) were for sale. The food was excellent and boy, what a picnic you could put together!<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the race itself, the cyclists were lead by a parade of vehicles decorated by the race sponsors who were throwing trinkets, samples, hats and the like into the crowd All I can say is thank got the Vittel water people had the sense to drive slowly had hand the bottles over rather than lob them at the masses&#8230; The came the cyclists in two groups, zoom zoom zoom, over in a few minutes. But the energy was fantastic, the crowd was in a great mood and we could not have enjoyed it more.<\/p>\n<p>After the race we declared the afternoon off and crashed back at the hotel for some swims and rest, not that I had a choice, everyone was worn out. But it was a good way to wrap down the day and all were happy.<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday Mrs. Halaby, where ever you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; tous les sponsors officiels de la Tour de France 2012.
