| Laura did the most fabulous Etsy Treasury, honoring the finish of the 2011 Tour de France and I thought I would post a few pieces she chose since they are so smashing. I have to tell you...I miss the Tour already. In a year that began with the Steelers losing the Superbowl, to watching my all-time favorite tennis player Roger Federer show signs of aging, this has been a pretty depressing year, for me, as a sports fan. But then along came the Tour...and Cadel Evans and well, what else can I say but, Ooh La La to Le Tour de France. This beautiful photo, above, from megalarie. |

| From the podium...the brilliant Cadel Evans and the brothers Schleck. I'm not sure when I've ever wanted someone to win an event as much I wanted Evans to win this one. Just thrilling. Cadel called it a 'beautiful race' and you know what...he was right. |

| Last but not least, the battered but never beaten Johnny Hoogerland. Who will ever forget the hideous crash that caused him to fly into a barbed wire fence. Not only did he finish that stage...he finished the tour. A warrior...and a hero. |
i love this post!!!
