Between Breakfast and Dinner...

It is Jaqueline and JD at the keyboard now.  Kelley and Jannelle are at the hotel, feet up, watching the Tour.  We are making this quick so we can join them.  We are hoping to see Lance in the yellow jersey today (Maillot Jaune).
 
I wish this were a standard style keyboard... yes, they are a little different and it impedes typing.  We left out many things on yesterday's post.  One of the biggest was our soaking ride through the streets of Paris, on bicycle.  Sure we mentioned the biking, just forgot the soaking.  It was nearly a storm. But, it was extroardinary and the lights on the river are fantastic whether our video ca,era agrees or not.
 
We viewed some extraordinary views in Rocomadour.  It's a village built on a cliff with an awesome religious heritage, a beautiful Notre Dame (there are several of these in France) and Kelley and I managed to view the area from atop the cliffs by climbing up a rather steep trail to the Chappelle area.  One of the most amazing things was watching the people drive into the valley and stop their cars to take a picture.  It's immediately inspiring, and causes you to stop, get out, and take it all in.
 
We have many things yet to do in Paris, including viewing of the next three stages, thee Notre Dame, Champs Elysees (rode it in a taxi last night), Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and several other museums. We rode the Metro out to the cemetary where Jim Morrison of the Doors is laid... that was an enormous and huge place.  We're headed to the patisserie now for a crepe, tart, and maybe something else too.  The French water is programmed to illicit much activity from those affected by sweet tooth's... au revoir for today !
