We woke up late again, but enjoyed a king bed and hotel showers. Ws thought we would skip doing a big tour of Lyon and decided on the funicucalr to Notre Dame and trapse through the Roman ruins of an ampitheatre.
We also took the funicular down and found salad for lunch, picnic is good, but too much bread and chese is not. I had a hankering for a sweet and wanted to find macroons. Jim hasn’t tried them, but in the store I went into instead I found Lyon’s version of the treat, I bought one of each and then Jim can in and we bought what was called a prolaine, it had a tart sheel, a red praline topping. Good but sweet. We walked along the Rue St Jean, found a few of the covered passageways
and then walked back to the car, to hotel to get baggages, and upf, it’s 3 pm. Did manage to send a FB Happy Birthday to Megan. And bought a lottery ticket. Sunshine all day today with a lovely breeze!!

Summer has arrived!
Made it to Avignon Hotel Bristol 6:30, our earliest arrival yet. We checked in to a room with a view but then left to park the car outside the city walls in the gratuitee parking and took the shuttle back. We meandered the streets. Called Megan, had wine and cheese and wandered some more. By 9:30 we were back at the Hotel and we went to turn in the backpack, but couldn't get back out. Early tomorrow. To the market, tour the castle de Papes, and then to Chateau-neuf du Papes!
