Vienne_Lyon Sat. May 16

Got to bed very late after an evening of a great meal, good company, terrific music from the 70's and 70's, and dancing like it was no tomorrow! Very fun, very exhausting which resulted in not getting up in time for the 8 am tour of Vienne.

Vienne became a Roman colony under Caesar about 47 BC.

I did get up in time for the hot breakfast buffet and still managed, along with another couple, to take in the town of Vienne on our own walking tour. Saw an ancient ampitheater which was awe-inspiring in its antiquity.Then there was the beautiful Saint-Maurice Cathedral.

We didn't really have time to explore the town as much as we would have liked because the ship was departing at 11 for the second largest city in France, Lyon.

    Wonderful that you got to sleep a bit more and still see some sights on your own...gorgeous architecture. Thanks for the history fact--more please!

    Look at how much you have already done and you've only been gone for a week. You have another whole week to go! You go girl. It's hot, hot, hot in California today.
