Shake that thing!

Here in Perpignan this morning, we were greeted to a sight as "Americanized' as McDonald's, apple pie, and Chevrolet...CHEERLEADERS.

YES, two groups of yellow-clad, pom-pom waving, appropriately augmented gals were shaking their stuff for the many spectators who camped out early to get the best spots along the finishing line.

The French have a proud tradition of declaring their independence when it comes to their culture, and to see this latest 'homage' to progress, well, it makes me smile. (No pun intended).

Here's hoping they've moved off the side of the road by the time the racers come into town- there might be some 'swiveling heads' from the sprinters as they dash down the straightaway!

Or better yet, let's all CHEER the new addition.
