Vive les Wallabies









Yesterday as I was riding my bike downtown I fell upon the Australian rugby team that was leaving Montpellier for Lyon where I think they will play tomorrow night. They will be back!

I was all excited (in French I would say I was as excited as a flea; I don't know the origin of the expression "être excité comme une puce"). At least as much excited as the young people near me (very nice guys by the way). Fortunately enough I had my camera with me. The photos are not great photos. I should have jumped over the bridge that separated me from the hotel entrance but I feared my backbone would not stand the effort :-)) Therefore I just ran up and down and up and down the pavement.... And that's just what I got. Which is great, since everybody seems to be envious here.

Tonight France will play against Argentina in Paris.

The program is on Pickiboon's blog.

Huge reception for the Wallabies
