How do you celebrate TDF time?

Tulip, where on the internet do you find the TDF? There aren't any bars showing the TDF where I live and I'm not sure how to get it on cable...I'm missing out on the action. Also? Rooting for Contador!

You have to click around a bit on the European sites. Sometimes they get cut off and then you have to surf for a new feed. It's not ideal, and I might end up paying for Versus Tour Tracker, but I'd much rather watch the European coverage. It helps to understand the languages, but I'll even watch it in Danish if need be!

If you have cable, check to see if you have Versus. They have exclusive coverage in the US. I don't know if you are in the US, but if you are and you have cable, then Versus is the best bet for TV coverage. My issue is that I don't have a TV and I don't have cable or satellite. This is the only time of year that I want a TV, but it's not worth it to me for the rest of the year.

My bf just returned from the cheese shop with Compte, a cow's milk cheese from the region they rode today. Also croissants!

I'm making baguettes today. I just cannot find a good baguette in all of Virginia...so I make my own, which are perfect, of course.

I might invite neighbors over for 14 juillet get-together with wine and cheese. Nothing to do with the Tour, but it would be fun to have a bit of celebration of the Rights of Man and all that. And wine. And cheese. And bread.

I would like to get a French flag for the 14th, but all the flag places around here are strictly stars-and-stripes, cutesy bunnies, or sports teams. I might have to take a trip to DC just to get a simple flag.
