It is truly unbelievable to think the Tour de France went right by our street as the race traveled throughout Europe. The bikers went by so fast! Our location was toward the beginning of the day's route so most of the riders were still clumped together. In the pack was the racer who won the leg of the race the day before. He was the only biker wearing the traditional Tour de France yellow jersey. You can see him in the picture.
This has been another one of those unbelievable things we have been able to experience while living in Europe. Thankful - Yes!!
Awesome photos - very cool that passed your street.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to figure out where you were standing in relation to your own house. What a neat experience. That camera is a wizard!! What great pictures.
So cool! What a great experience!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Bob!
Dallas - A photo compliment from you is very high praise indeed! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMom - We were stading at the intersection at the top of our hill where the bakery is. Bob and I were facing Terveran as the bikers came toward us and headed south toward the center of Overijse. It was downhill all the way there where they approached the S curve and flew up the hills toward the town of SPA.
Randy - We will be home in August but are still waiting for you to come here!!! How was the cruise?
Julie - We had a great time on the cruise! Still one of the best types of vacations ever! I highly recommend it! Funny you mention about coming over there...we even had a discussion about that once or twice over the past couple of weeks. Something we will definitely talk more about! Looking forward to your visit in August and the fact that this time you get to leave Maria behind!!
