Signs have been posted on the roads for the past month. Anticipation. The Tour de France is coming on 17 July! This time through Henny's old village Alignan du Vent. When the Tour passed through Roujan a few years ago, it was swelteringly hot. Today a cloudy day with cool temperatures and a stiff breeze. Not typical July weather, but made for comfortable spectating. Our lovely friends from Hannover were thankfully on hand to make the waits between the action pass very quickly.
The advertising caravan seemed shorter this year, but there was still a long delay before the riders came. Then finally, it's all over in a colorful lycra flash, but it gets you every time.

Fantastic! We were wondering here if you were once again in country for the Tour! Didn't see you on the US television coverage (though we looked).
