Ramiro's Uncle Mike is a huge biking enthusiast, so traveling to France to see a leg of Tour de France was an absolute must during his visit. We stayed in Torino, Italy for two nights and drove into Saint Jean de Maurienne, France for the actual leg. (FYI...Torino, Italy is nothing to write home about.) Saint Jean de Maurienne is nestled within the Alps of the southeast region of France. The drive was breathtaking, and the scenic villages and mountain views were gorgeous. We drove in early on the morning of the leg, and "set up camp" along the route. We waited approximately 6 hours for Lance Armstrong and his fellow cyclists to fly by....exciting!!! Kyndall can officially say that she's been in three countries and experienced Tour de France before she was three months old! Soon to be four countries...we're headed to Slovenia this weekend. ;-) Here are few pics from the day....
Kyndall and Daddy at the hotel in Torino...my new favorite pic. ;-)
Ready for France...looking like a big girl sitting up in her stroller.
Our "camp" at Saint Jean de Maurienne.
Setting up roadside...getting closer!
Still waiting....
and waiting...
Caravanning....half an hour of blaring music and free goodies!
Finally....here they come!
I know you can't see his face, but I'm pretty sure that's Lance Armstrong....#21 with Radio Shack. We have him on video riding by and he looked over at Yolanda when she screamed his name. ;-)
More groups...good times.
