Summary

With two days to go before the Opening Ceremony, I caught the finale of the Tour de France in Nice and then swung over to Marseille to watch Team USA begin their football campaign against France.

In search of hydration after the drubbing from France, I stumble across mysterious flavored Snickers bars from another multiverse (or Brazil). Curious, I ask the shop's clerk about it and we get into a conversation about football and Marseille's team.
