Holy cow. Today (and I use that term loosely) I have been in a car, on a boat, in a plane, on a train, in the Metro and finally in my bed in my Paris apartment.
I missed all of the Eurosport coverage of the Tour de France today so I'll give you a recap of my activities. By the way, I will look on various other sites to find out the news of the day and add those to a few upcoming posts.
Here's a list of the events, beginning at 3:50PM on Monday, July 16...
