Playing Hooky (do people even say that anymore?)

We had such a great time yesterday (and our clothes were really dirty), that we decided to take the day off from spectating to use the free detergent we scored from the caravan and do our laundry (see photo on Twitter of the laundry shack next to the Intermarche). We also wanted to see what else our pit-stop town of Saint Gervais (vintage poster photo) had to offer. And, I really want to go down the luge run in Chamonix.

While we were enjoying a nice relaxing lunch in St. Gervais's town center, all of a sudden, all the TdF support vehicles started rolling by us. Every team bus except Garmin's, drat! Come to find out, the only road leading to the finish line in Italy today (that the cyclists aren't biking on) is the one we're sitting next by. Nice little treat on our "day off."
