Old lady with the grocery cart: Get On the BUS!!
It was going to be a close one. I had never missed a train in France but if this lady took more than 2 minutes (it was about that) I was going to. We pull up to the train station and I check my phone. Missed it. 6:43 for a 6:42 Train. I mope into the train station just to hear (in French) "The Train to Toulouse is departing from track A" it was running late! I sprint to the track and I get my arm stuck in the door making the conductor re-open the door.
I get to Toulouse and meet up with Mike. The Plan: I was meeting up with a UGA PhD student (Mike) his wife (Alicia) and their 1 year old son (Emmett). They were going to rent a car and we were driving to see the Tour de France.
Along the way we stopped in Montségur.
Slept on a tarp I borrowed from Annick in a beautiful Campground.
Staked out the tour at the top of the first really small hill.
A parade precedes the tour where scantily clad women throw free stuff at the spectators from funny cars. Emmett liked that part.
Here comes the....There they go.
I got sun burned really badly.

Matt ~ my sunburn is horrible! I've got bad blisters on one of my shoulders! What was I thinking? I think you were right about the mountain sun. Next year I will wear sunblock. Thanks again for putting up with us. Did you get any good photos?
