I made it to France! Uneventful flights, not much sleep. I'm VERY jetlagged and need to really pay attention to walking on cobblestone streets. There's a 6 hr time difference. I landed in Lyon (one of France's larger cities, in the Rhone- Alpes area) around 9am, (it was dark til nearly 8am). I thought of all you Maine folk because it was snowing like crazy! Not exactly what I had in mind. The snow let up, but chilly. My room wasn't to be ready til at least 1:00, so off I went walking. Found a nice little open air market (nice cheese) and walked along the Saone & Rhone rivers. Found very cool roman ruins and wandered the narrow, steep streets of Vieux Lyon. This theatre is the view I have out my hotel window. I hope I'll be able to stay awake til it gets dark. Off to Marrekech tomorrow.

Was great talking with you just a bit ago. This blog is really great. Do you have a computer in your classroom? Would be a great way for them to keep up with your travels. Isn't technology marveaux? (don't know it that's the proper spelling!) Take care. Love DAF
