14 june sunday

we're in avignon. the popes palace is nice but it's hot today. yesterday we were in lyon. we drove down from paris.

lyon was at one time the center of frances silk industry. we looked and looked for this place that makes thier own designs. it was a site i found on the internet at home. like all our adventures it takes three trips and four retracings to get where we were planning to go! it was in a courtyard near the hotel de ville of lyon. they had beautiful hand painted and hand screened scarves qnd ties. i spent my fortune on them. lyon is a very pretty city on a point of the rivers rhone and ???

down to avignon and warm weather. the place were staying is 20 min from the city and a million miles from civilization at the end of a track. i'll be home in " days and will catch up on posts there.
