Today while I was at school, an important bike race passed right by my house! There was a lot of media coverage, security, and even a van that passed out flags to all the spectators before the cyclists came by. On the flag that Elise is waving you can see the "Tour de Romandie" which means "the tour of French-speaking Switzerland", and "Raiffeisen" is a Swiss bank that sponsored the race. My host family gave me a flag afterwards and it is now proudly waving from my coat rack! In the second photo you can see the cyclists with my house in the background! I have tried riding a bike up the hill to my house before...so I know that these guys are incredible! The third photo is a map that shows the first step in the race which took place today. See if you can spot Siviriez, our neighboring village!
