... ratatouille hybrid. We got about halfway through when Meg decided that her lunch contained raw beef ("steak tartare"). It quickly found the garbage and a safe baguette sandwich appeared in its place.
After our lunching adventure, we headed a few blocks in the other direction and found a very elegant shopping area that would rival any other. Indoor malls, outdoor malls, haute couture, it was all here. As were a very young and active population. ...

Stage 16 – Pau Arrival, le Tour de France 20

But it’s not over……everyone starts screaming again and pushing while the peleton comes in several minutes later.

After the race, we watched my favorite rider, Andy Schleck, be awarded the white ...
