We took a break from packing this afternoon to fight the crowds downtown to catch the finale of the Tour de France, which was finishing in Paris today. We found a spot on the Place de la Concorde, which is at the end of the Champs Elysees, where the bikers make a final few laps. It was almost anticlimatic: swarms of people packed on the hot pavement, excitement rising as they found out the bikers were approaching, cheers, and then zip…a pack of cyclists flew by. And then another 5 minutes until they would zip by again on their next lap. Still an incredible experience though and a fun place to be on my last day in Paris.
Tonight, we returned to trivia night at the Highlander for a final go after being stumped last week, and walked away victorious. Second place, not first, but our pride was intact this time.
