French Open

We took one last quick trip into Paris. The weather was perfect for a stop at Roland Garros.


Still cold in late May!!


The crowds exiting after Blake's first round loss.

Giro d'Italia

The Giro d'Italia went through Biella on Friday morning. The Giro is the Italian equivalent of the Tour de France.

The start of the race, in front of the Esselunga.

Parade of sponsors.

You can't really see them, but the Italian alps are in the background. Here's a picture of Alex standing in one of the rice fields outside of Biella.

Milan

We stopped in Milan for some shopping and a visit with Alex's shoulder surgeons.

The Duomo is still under renovations, but they uncovered the top half. Look at how clean it is now. Looks brand new!!

AC Milan was playing Liverpool in the Champions League Finals. The AC fans started gathering in the Piazza in front of the Galleria early in the day. This picture was taken around 5 in the afternoon. The game did not begin until 9:00.

Final score: AC Milan 2, Liverpool 1. We heard fireworks and cars honking all night after AC's victory.

Hockey Night

We went to a hockey game tonight. Rouen players are wearing the yellow and black jerseys. The home team won. After the game, we met some of the hockey players and their wives/girlfriends. A bunch of the players are from Quebec, so it was pretty cool for Alex.
