Tour malet

We made it out of andorra. We watched from about 4k from the top. We
were right there and cheered the peleoton on as they climbed. Watching
it on tv and being here are totally different. I can't believe these
guys can even make it up these mountains they are crazy long and
steep. We camped next to some Aussies and. German who rode his
motorcycle there. Andorra was beautiful. We spent about two hours
waiting to get on the road. Then we drove 6 hours through the night to
the tour malet. And here we are. The picture below is from where we
are camping. Ok time to get some beer since we have a whole day with
nothing to do.

Perpignan

Yesterday we went to sagrada familia and today we went to the
cathedral of Barcelona. Then we drove to Perpignan in France and saw
the end of the stage. Pretty awesome. It was amazing to see it in
person even though they flew buy us we followed it up by watching the
jersey ceremony . Next We went Shopping and got a cable to listen to
the iPhone in the car instead of Spanish music. We also bought a
cooler and food. Now we are trying to find a place to sleep. Wish us
luck.

No estamos muerte

We made it. We ran with the bulls and survived. We actually werewithin
feet of the bulls. I saw one run right by me and then we dove under
the fences. Jeff actually helped pull a guy out fom under the fence
saving him from getting trampled. We made it into the bull ring and
were there for the amateur bull fighting action where the bull has his
horns taped. It was awesome and totally intense. Seriously the
scariest part was waiting for so long in the town square and then all
the false alarms for the bulls coming. What a rush and I never need to
do that again. Off to Barcelona.
