Tammy and I are in a smoky Internet cafe in Grenoble…
Sounds like the beginning to a good novel. :-) However, this keyboard is french! And it is shockingly similqr yet different. Forget qwerty, it’s azerty!
Anyway just letting people know we have arrived. The keyboard and smoke are too much! We ride tomorrow…
Au revoir!
This is the first day that we actually get to see the Tour de France on the road. We went out for the short ride option today since I was recovering from my cold and Tammy was of course starting to get the early symptoms of it. There should be a way that you can trade vacation …

A good nights sleep thanks to Nyquil and variety of other incantations seemed to have helped me out. Hopefully Tammy wont get any whiff of this quick cold. The car is completely loaded and we’re just waiting to …

Keep reading · 1 minute: Apostle Islands Kayak TripI’m sitting this morning at the counter of a Bob Evans restaurant in Marion, IL. I’ve never been to a Bob Evans before and Tammy really thought that I would like it. Bob Evans focuses on breakfast and I, as it seems most men do, feel that breakfast is certainly the best meal of …

Woke up early and can’t fall back asleep. Figured I would just write a little. Tammy is sound asleep next to me. I wish I had the ability to sleep that well. We went to sleep early last night so even though I’m up at this crazy hour (and I’ve been up for about an hour), I …
Keep reading · 6 minutes: Magic KingdomWe followed up the death ride with the Rollercoaster. I have to admit, aside from the headwinds and the rather cold weather and a general lack of convenience stores, this ride is gorgeous. The ride goes through some really pretty canyons where you ride along streams up through …
