Way late and in Burgundy

Okay, many days later, and no posts. I'm going to cheat and put up photos and sentences.

1. Lyon is great. We want to go back. Many things to do, beautiful city.
2. Burgundy is great too. Very pretty countryside and phenomenal Romanesque churches, many with frescos.
3. Cluny is neat, only the transept is left of a church 187 meters long. Cute town too. Excellent guided tour of Musee. 
4. Paray Le Monial is a terrific abbey. The town looked dull as we drove in, turned out to be tres jolie.
5. Azey le Duc has a beautiful church and charming town.
6. Ditto for Semur-en-Brionais
7. Amazingly small number of people visiting these sites. We're almost alone at all of these places. 
8. Tournus is a great town, with a neat Hospice and (wait for it) another great abbey
9. Burgundy is filled with cool stuff.
10. Food is excellent.
