My 2001 Summer Trip to Europe

Rome was not very fun. We took a "vacation from our vacation" and had a blast in Florence and Manarola {part of the Cinque Terre}, Italy. We tried to get to Chamonix, France, but had no luck. We returned to Turin, Italy {recently named the home of the 2006 Winter Olympics} and took the overnight train from Turin to Paris, France.

We timed our visit to Paris so that we could see the end of the 2001 Tour de France. Oui, j'y étais! This is Greer sitting next to our McDonald's lunch and holding our PMC big green hands as we wait on the Champs-Elysées for the cyclists to approach.
