greetings from Paris

> Greetings
>
> We had a nice flight over with a brief stop in London...just long enough for a
> traditional breakfast of fried egg, baked beans, hash browns, bacon, sausage, toast,
> mushrooms, fried tomatoes, and tea.
>
> We arrived in Paris with a good dose of jet lag, but that did not stop us from grabbing
> a
> nutella and banana crepe for nourishment before heading to a cafe for a tasty belgian
> beer to watch the last hour of today's stage. Lance and Basso are crushing it, and
> Voeckler is riding with so much heart and panache to keep the yellow jersey that he is
> now a big hero over here.
>
> We hit our favorite latin quarter cafe for a kir and some people watching before
> grabbing
> a to go sandwich and eating dinner on the pont des arts, overlooking the Seine at
> sunset.
>
> Then it was off to bed for a solid 12 hrs of sleep!
>
> voila, no more jetlag.
>
> we're off to explore Paris before catching a train down to the Alps.
>
> until next time,
> Chris and Melanie
