Salamanca, Spain

Salamanca from the distance

After enjoying Granada we headed north to a city called Salamanca.  We had a rental car so it wasn't planes, trains, and automobiles this time......just automobile.

Dordogne, Foie Gras, and Sofia in a Guillotine

We made it to the Dordogne Region of France on a Friday afternoon.  Drove from Rodez for a few hours and were on our way to our airbnb in Perigueux, but made a pit stop in Sarlat-la-Caneda.

Saône and the Rhône

From Paris we grabbed our rental car and headed south and a little east to Lyon, France.  I'm following Diego's lead for the most part on this European leg of our journey.  We took the scenic route for much of our drive because we would see more of the little towns and also because the French highways are quite expensive.

We made it to Lyon in the evening and our apartment was nice.  In a little town just south of Lyon and an easy 10 minute drive into the city.
I wasn't sure what we were going to do or see in the city, but it turns out that there is a lot to do there.  I really liked Lyon.

Vieux Lyon

On to Breighton and York

We are visiting a co-worker of Diego's, David, here south of York in a village called Breighton.
