Avranches
France
July 13, 2002
 As expected it was packed. People from everywhere were there to cheer on their cyclist. |
 These people had the best view. Wouldn't it be weird to have the Tour de France go down your road? |
 Gary got up on a bench to be able to see over the crowds. |
|
 Most of the floats were just ads for local business. Like this one is for a grocery. |
 This is a bottled water company. They were hosing down the crowds, but the water turned to mist before it actually hit anyone. It was fun to watch people worry about getting wet. |
 Local cable company. |
 Most of the floats were throwing some sort of suvenier to the people. I got 2 blow up sticks that are supposed to make noise. I almost got hit by a t-shirt so i ducked instead of catching it. Some little boy got the shirt. |
 There were tons more floats but I doubt you care to see them all. |
