So this happened today. All I saw of it was the police tape and helicopters flying over the downtown.

Today was the Twilight Criterium, a professional cycling event and the biggest thing that happens in Athens each year (except for football season, I imagine). And it was super fun. We parked on Prince and walked downtown. Four streets were blocked off for the races, with food vendors and music on College Ave. We watched the amatuer race from the starting line and it’s intense. And much cooler than it sounds. The professional races followed. There were a few blown tires and one wipe out that I know of. I’m already excited about next year.

I also went thrift store shopping today and scored two sun dresses.
