Lyon to Italy 6-1-2014

                Last night we got into Lyon, France and didn’t have much time before the metro would close.  So we left the hotel to find this cathedral that looked pretty cool online.  If we had more time and it was light out we would have gone to this huge park that had a free zoo and such but we figured that was all closed at this point.  We hopped on the metro and quickly found the cathedral actually.  That was all cool and dandy, seemed like we had missed some big day festival type thing since there was lots of food/merchant tents set up and now were being taken down.
                We found this street that was packed with people and at this corner were 4 nice dinner places that had tons of outside seating.  It was a fixed price menu for a 3 course meal. There were many tiers of pricing you could choose from.   The dinner was awesome though and so was the wine that Lexii choose.   We finished up in an hour or so and had enough time to get back to the metro and get home. Night
Today we are on a train all day heading towards Italy… more specific heading towards Cinque Terre which is home to these 5 cities that are built right on the edge of the water and are a few miles apart from each other.  Hiking and driving trails are available to reach each city.  We plan on walking to trails over the next couple of days to see each city.  That all is later tho….. for now we will be on a train all day.

                Edit: many many many hours in and still have 3 to go, we are now in Italy though and can already tell a difference in the type of people that are around you.  While on the train, we past some beautiful towns in these huge valleys that were either surrounded by mountains with vineyards, green grass or even snow.  Im assuming we were by the Alps since some signs said that along the way, could be wrong though.
