Today was a travel day. This morning we left the Parador of Aiguablava at 7 A.M. for the one hour drive to Girona, where we returned our rental car and caught a 9:00 high speed train to Lyon, France.
Our room at the Parador included breakfast, but the breakfast buffet didn’t open until 8:00. So yesterday I ask if they would give us some breakfast to take with us. They said yes, they would give us a picnic.

There was very little traffic and we had no problem returning the car and catching the train.

The high speed train ride was 4 hours and 20 minutes. In Lyon we walked the mile or so to our hotel.

After a bit of a rest we went out exploring and later had a great pizza dinner.



sounds like a fun day. How nice they gave you picnic lunches.

Your picnic meal sounds perfect. Very thoughtful of them. Somehow I didn’t expect your first meal in France to be pizza. How did it compare to what we are used to here?

The pizza was really good (particularly good crust)and the restaurant ambiance was very French bistro. Jazz music, stone wall and low light.
