Looking down the Champs Elysees. Photo by Craig.—he is going to go through his photos of the parade & cyclists and I'll post those later.
The original agenda today was to go to a flea market, but since I was really starting to not feel well (I suspect I got what Anna had last week) I was having second thoughts. Craig realized that today was the day that the Tour de France would be running up the Champs Elysees so we decided to make that our focal point of the day.
We left in the morning for the Musee Rodin only to find that it was opening late that day due to "technical difficulities" so we decided to just walk up to the Champs Elysees and see what was happening. A lot of people were already camped out to get the best spots along the course and we bought a few souvenirs and then sat down for lunch. I was really not feeling well, so we finally went to a pharmacy and negotiated some medicine that would help me out. I walked back to the hotel after the parade started as I didn't have th energy to wait around for the bikes. By the time I got back to the hotel I felt much better (thank you, French medicine!) but I still took a 45 minute nap. Craig came back shortly after and we spent a low-key evening near the hotel.
