Lyon:
Beautiful city, but better viewed in late spring or early autumn. Too cold during winter to really appreciate it all. The Basillica atop the hill in Vieux Lyon is beautiful, and the view, which not obstructed by snow and low clouds, is marvelous, or so I've been told. The food was spectacular and though it was snowy and freezing, I greatly enjoyed wandering around the city and happening upon an old church tucked away down a side street.
Nice:
Come here during summer. Or, better yet, go to Antibes or one of the small towns on the opposite side of Cannes. The beach is rocky and this whole place feels like Naples flordia, a bit geriatric (did I spell that right? If I'm going to be insulting I at least want to spell it right).
Apparently they've cancelled trains to Genoa due to economic reasons. We're winging it from here, and Lacy is already 2 hours late. She said she had bad luck with trains, let's see how we can do. My goal is to be in Rome by midnight. If the genoa train existed we would have arrived by 8. I am confident. No idea why, but I am. Phone and Internet will be off forthe most part once I cross into the Boot... Wish me luck! Lord knows I'll need it at this rate.
Also, if there's Internet at the hotel in Rome I will totally be posting an awesome gallery of pictures. Of Pengie in transit.

Merry Christmas from Green Bay. We spent Christmas Day on the highway after dinner with Mireya and Orlando and their boys followed by Midnight Mass at St. Joan of Arc Church. The church was beautiful and the music was exceptional. I say Richard Crossland. I enjoy being in Indianapolis for Christmas because you see so many people. I also went to the Children's Mass where I saw Patty Sheridan and she asked about you.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to hear from you on Christmas Day. Enjoy the rest of your travels as you head back toward Strasbourg for New Year's Eve. We will return to Indianapolis with Sam who will stay for a week so we'll come back with him next weekend.
