Cruising from Viviers to Tournon
... talking and laughing as we sailed toward Touron. Then we had a cooking demonstration by our chef. We learned how to make Crepes Suzette. Good and delicious fun. A tour of the kitchen followed. It is amazing that the get all of that wonderful food out of such a small kitchen. A French lesson followed to prepare us for our home hosted dinner in Touron tonight. All 12 of us are going to the same home. The family will never be the same after our ...

What an experience - Tour de France
... back. All under control.
Then woosh, police bikes, cars and the breakaway group of four or five are past us. One quick photo is all I get, but i got the riders!! How long til the next group, is it the peloton, is it Cadel or Wiggins??
