...oh, enough about the village. What I'm really excited about has to do with the television in the house. For
the first time we have some English (as in England, not just the language) channels. That alone is not a big deal because we try to stay away from English-language channels when we can. But during July I now be able to watch the Tour de France (one of my favorite sporting events) with commentary by...Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwin.Now I realize this only makes sense to about 10 of you out there who might read this. But for you 10, you know what I mean. Living in France is great if you love cycling: constant coverage, long replays, deep analysis. But the one thing France lacks is Phil and Paul. But this year I'll be able to switch back and forth between the French broadcast and the Phil/Paul broadcast. Wonderful.

hope you get a chance to see some of the stages in person. we just finished watching stage 3 on the tv. next year we'll be in france for the tour, but alas this year we'll still have to be up at 5:30 am to watch it live. Enjoy the summer in the new place. Last September we spent some time in that area and I'll be curious to see how you like it - we didn't - too arid and windy (very hard to bike in), but it could have been the time of year we were there.
Some day I am going to come watch the stage or two. Here they are showing the broadcast coverage live in the morning and an edited replay in the late afternoon, it makes it worth having cable.
