Barcelona Nice Dijon & Beaune - Whew!

Wow we’ve been a lot of places!  Barcelona was awesome - climbed (literally) the Sagrada Familia, went to Parc Guell, and had chocolate and churros, which, after the wheel, I am naming the best invention by humankind ever.

From there we took an overnight train to Nice, which, Neil, you are correct, is one of the most beautiful cities ever.  We had crappy weather there, but it didn’t matter.  It is charming and romantic, the ocean is beautiful (so blue!)  I strolled through the streets in the rain eating lavender ice cream and bought handmade soaps at the outdoor market.  Hated to leave.

Yesterday we were in Dijon, which is lovely.  Small and cute, we sat in a square and watched little kids ride a carousel (which France seems to be big on).

Today we are in Beaune, a tiny town just south of Dijon.  The center of the city is the same as it has been since the 15th century, and since it is in the heart of Burgundy, we will be doing some wine tasting this afternoon.

Tomorrow we head for Bern, Switzerland!  I can’t wait to see the Alps.

A lot more to say but this crazy European keyboard is driving me insane.

Au revoir!
