Col du Tourmalet

So I went on a road trip to watch the tour de france. Might write more about that later. If I have time, and if I dont fail my dissertation. In the meantime, here is the exact spot where our camper was parked on the Col du Tourmalet, which is one of the more famous climbs in France. Pretty cool, although it looked pretty different when we were there (i.e. this - some snow + 500000 people)(please notice that I dont subtract the goats from that equation).
