Lyon
Christmas tree market on the way to the train at about 7:30am. Wednesday (Temp. 9deg. Overcast)
6:30am breakfast, left at 7am to walk 5km to train, got there 8:30am. Train left 9:25am. Lovely 5hr ride, even saw the sun briefly for the first time in 10 days. Pretty countryside. Got to Strasbourg about 3pm.
Short walk to hotel (Monopole Metropole). Place is very pretty, had some drinks in a pub. Called Americanos again. Had a fight about sensitivity to foreigners, lost each other on way back to hotel. Nothing to eat since breakfast, hungry, angry & feeling terrible about being here. Ordered strange looking & tasting room service. Watched another movie in English with French subtitles. Went to bed wishing we'd gone somewhere where they speak English, tired of feeling like idiots.
