We managed to park and walk to the raceway and find a spot right on the curb. When the bikers rode past, I was almost afraid they'd knock my camera out of my hand, they were so close. They rode past us quickly, followed by a mile or so of chase-cars with bikes and tires and parts to help should a problem arise. And...then it was over. We took videos and pictures, and later that night Nellie and I went frame by frame until we found Lance Armstrong. :) Her picture is better than mine, cause mine was grabbed from my video camera. But still, that's him!! (it looks like a tabloid alien picture of questionable authenticity...)
After the few seconds of the rac we were able to see, we walked around and enjoyed a day in Colmar. We visited the Frederic Auguste Bartholdi museum - for those who don't know, he is the French sculptor from whom we received the Statue of Liberty. We even passed her on the way into Colmar, on a MUCH smaller scale. We also got coffee at a French cafe, and enjoyed traditional French cuisine like - gasp - escargo. We saw a mushroom store, and several delicious looking bakeries, and an Army/Navy store. One of the guys did go in and ask if they had any white flags. Her response? She handed him the rainbow flag. :) But the whole day was really great, full of good conversations and building of friendships.
