It's already the last day of the Tour de France, and I have yet to post my Tour de France experience. We've been back from our European vacation for 2 weeks. It certainly was a nice break, but immediately I've been thrust back into 50 hour work weeks; short-staffed.
The last portion of our vacation was in Beaune, in the Burgundy region of France. Our friends who live in Zurich are wine connoisseurs, and they frequent the area. There's nothin' like touring with people that know their way around. The first day there we were at a wine tasting in the vineyards of Chambertin close to town, and as casual conversation our host asked if we were going to take in the Tour de France as it passed through a neighbouring town the following day. All four of us looked at each other..."What?..." We'd had no idea. But sure enough, Stage 7 was to pass through Nuite St. Georges the next day.

Then it started to sink in because we'd seen cycling decorations in Nuite St. George as we'd driven through to Beaune. We were so not expecting it that it never sank in.
