It is one of those great days. Lance is in the yellow jersey here in France, the entire nation is celebrating and Americans are welcome in this city (sort of French language helps even more) and best of all, live in Modesto it is the 5th installment of MoBand. MoBand is a very Parisian kind of thing and it goes like this. Beautiful city park, great local live music, blankets on the ground, wonderful food, great friends and last but certainly not least, a good bottle of wine. I am sad to be missing it tonight. It is fun to be in any place, celebrating independence, liberation or any other form of freedom of the people and even more fun to be doing it with a million people surrounding you. So see, it is all relative, 3,000 people in a park in Modesto is a very good thing. This is why Paris recharges my batteries and keeps me returning year after year.
