We had wonderful weather today (praise God!) and the group climbed another 9350 feet--a VERY long 25K climb (Col de la Madeleine)--absolutely beautiful at the top. We are now in St Jeanne de Maurienne and Vern is taking a well-deserved nap. His picture at the top of the summit is a testament to his determination (and great care from his wife). I was forced to have a chocolate eclair with my lunch today so we are sure to be contributing to the local economy. French pastry is the best! Continuing on the cow theme, anyone have a guess where this cow was painted? And what are the men doing with these two trucks? On the way to the Col du Telegraphe, Col du Galibier and Col d'Izoard tomorrow. For those followers who are not avid cyclists, I promise more culture beginning next week.
I am pretty sure that the guys from the local cheese factory(AKA the guys in the trucks) are looking for that very naughty cow who is hiding in your hotel elevator!No Milk,No cheese,no life ( Old Swiss proverb )
