[Itinerary Page]The Daily Diary of a Wandering Restaurateur
Laying Around Nolay
Our last day of the trip that won't involve transit ... and it rained all day. It could have been worse. Some weather reports were talking about snow! With a two+ hour trip to Lyon tomorrow to catch a plane to Paris, snow is definitely something I don't need.
So what do you do on a rainy day in Burgundy? Pretty much what you would do on a rainy day at home -- settle in with a good book and rejoice in being warm and dry. We have seen pretty much all we want to see and done pretty much all we want to do around here. Besides, part of the allure of this trip was to get a sense of what it might be like to live in a place like this on a year-round basis. No immediate plans to go ex-pat, but the idea is always in the back of the head.
Today was also Ephiphany. This means more to Catholics than it does to me but in France, in addition to being a religious observation, it officially marks the end of the holiday season. So the lights go out for another year and we are all left a little depleted.
I am not a religious sort but I did have my own epiphany yesterday which I talk about (poorly, no doubt) on the photo page. This is the germ of an idea that I hope will develop itself more fully in the months ahead. For now, you are the first kid on your block to get the word. The question is what you will do with it.
