Lazy in Lyon:
I've spent the last two days sightseeing in Lyon. It's France's 2nd city (don't say that to someone from Marseilles) and is considered the gastronomic capital of France. I'm personally not sure about that last part. From what I can tell, the local claim to food fame is based on a restaurant style called a bouchon and their specialties are dishes based on tripe. I've been steering toward the less interesting part of the menu.
But, I can say that Lyon has beautiful sites and wonderful cafes for relaxing. I've been doing lots of both before heading into Beaujolais on the bike tomorrow. 70 hilly k on tap for tomorrow!
