Europe has been a whirlwind. After watching the prologue and start of stage 1 of "Le Grand Tour" in Rotterdam. We chased the racers by train to Brussels to catch the finish, we made it with twenty minutes to spare. Unfortunately, a mess of crashes squashed any opportunity for a sprint finish but is was amazing to see the riders (and their entourage) arrive at the finish.
We are now in Paris, stay at my French sister's apartment. Its directly in the old part of Paris, very close to Notre Dame and the Louvre. Yesterday, she led us around Paris on foot. We saw everything in one day. Really, you name it, we saw it. As the sun set, we found ourselves beneath the Eiffle Tower with four bottles of wine, cheese and bread, chocolate and good sausages and ham. We ate and drank as the tower brilliantly glowed in the night sky. It was hard to believe, it still is. C'est un reve!
One more day in Paris, then we're off to the Alps for a mountain stage or two. I have run twice in nine days, I'm really good at recovering.
