The Tour de France is a huge event in cycling, and as with all sports, advertising plays a big role in the Tour. Before each stage there’s a “advertiser’s parade” officially called the publicity caravan. Tour officials call it an essential part of the tour, but we generally love these things for the plethora of junk and candy they throw at you. Unfortunately we only scored one package of candy and a few free goodies, but it was worth it to see the ridiculous floats and “motivators” do their thing on the business-like streets of Brussels. Vive le tour!
Photo Tuesday: Re-thinking Butterflies
We took this picture hiking around the Juan Curi waterfall outside of San Gil, Colombia. After trying to touch the butterflies, I looked down and saw why they were congregating at that spot. Dung. Needless to say, I haven’t tried to catch or touch a butterfly since. Want to see more photos from Colombia? click here.
Photo Tuesday: Grey Whales
Starting something new on the blog today, a Photo Tuesday feature. Each Tuesday we’ll highlight an amazing photo from our adventure. As always, our entire photo collection is visible on flickr and our most recent photos are presented on the photo tab.
This photo was taken day 2 of our trip, less than 24 hours after crossing the border into Mexico. Half way down the Baja penninsula, we stopped at a small town called Guerrero Negro to “visit” with the grey whales. After a choppy ride out in miserable weather, we waited in the lagoon for what seemed like forever before the whales approached us. This mother and calf stayed near our boat for several minutes, playfully swimming from side to side and nudging the boat. It was an amazing way to start our journey south.
