Dear Elliott, Lily and Sebastian,
Well! Last week we went to the the most famous bicycle race in the world. It’s called the Tour de France and goes all the way around France. Before the race passes by though there are lots and lots of trucks and cars and specially decorated contraptions that go past in a special parade called “The Caravan”. There are so many they go back along the highway through a few towns at a time. Can you see them way back in the distance?
The very first thing to come through was a little car with a HUGE statue made in the shape of a man riding a racing bike.
He was wearing a yellow shirt because at the end of every day the person who is winning the race is given a brand new yellow shirt and he wears it when he is racing the next day.
The cars and trucks were all shapes and sizes, some were the team mechanics cars and they had ten bicycles on their roofs, some were buses with people in them, some were painted in really funny colours and had people dressed in costumes sitting on the roof.
They were going very fast though, so everything was blowing everywhere and the people on the roof had special seat belts to keep them safe.
They must have been quite cold.
Some of them were specially decorated trucks and the people on them were throwing presents to the children and to JoJo too!
Can you see all the children in yellow tee shirts? A lot of people had yellow shirts so that they could cheer the winner on!
One of the men on the trucks threw a yellow cap to Jojo, she was so excited that she couldn’t catch anything else very well after that.
I wonder what will happen to that hat when we get home?
I wonder if some of the other things she caught will come home with us?
I think they might!
Lots of love to you all, don’t forget to give yourself a big hug from us,
From JoJo and Papa
