You won't be the only one in the city. Paris is already crowded by tourists who seem to outnumber the previous summers attendance records. They're everywhere!

He was electric in that film!

Viva Espana! A superb demonstration of collective soccer. What a game the Spanish team played! If they perform at the same level, no team is going to catch up with them at the 2014 World Cup!

The Tour 2012 started yesterday with a prologue in the Belgian city of Liège, the city that was the birthplace of Bobby Jaspar and René Thomas. As expected Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara won the four-mile race through the city. It was his fifth Tour prologue victory. No real favorite in this year's Tour. Last year's winner, Australia's Cadel Evans, has a strong chance. So has Britain's Bradley Wiggins. Will watch the race on TV for the competition between the riders but mostly to enjoy the beautiful sceneries of La Belle France!
