What a great weekend we had! We went to Strasbourg to see the start of the Tour de France. After years of watching it on TV, it was fun to see it in person. On Saturday we watched the Prologue and Sunday we watched the start. We battled the heat and the crowds but it was worth it. We had to arrive three or four hours early each day to make sure we had a good viewing point. Saturday night we watched France beat Brazil in the World Cup from the comfort of our hotel room. When the game ended around 11:00pm horns started honking and people filled the streets singing. This went on until about 2:00AM (either everyone finally went home or I just fell asleep from exhaustion at that time!!!)
