Up early in order to leave by
8:00 am today from Strasbourg in order to drive all the way to Lyon, France. Would have loved more time in Strasbourg - it was lovely. MBD says the concert was great last night - good audience etc.
Our hotel send-off was a scrumptious breakfast buffet - maybe the most lovely we've had so far.
No problem selecting plenty to fill tummies as we don't stop during our drives other than to get gas and perhaps a snack.

| Fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals... |

| Cozzie was good for almost all 6 hours in the car... |
 |
| Sometimes Mama made faces and Grandma snapped photos... |

| Sometimes Grandma made faces and Mama snapped photos... |
 |
| And Cozzie has a huge repertoire of funny faces... |
 |
| But finally a rest stop with gas, store, bathrooms and a place to stretch our legs... |
 |
| Lyon, France makes great 1st impression from the van window... |

| Don't know what I'm capturing yet but will hopefully learn a few things while we're here... |
We are in a stately hotel with a very friendly, welcoming front desk gal. Cozzie was ready for a nap as we arrived about 2pm. We have been off loaded here and the others have gone on to off load at venue. We are a considerable distance from the venue so Cozzie and I will most likely entertain ourselves and see the others tomorrow morning when we check out about 11am.
Cozzie has been asleep for about 2 hours so will wake up any minute. We saw a lovely playground at the end of the block as we arrived so that's where we'll head first. We'll also scope out supper choices in the area. It's a beautiful day and I'm ready to explore this new place.
Later:

| After a 2+ hour nap, we headed to the playground... |
 |
| Lovely playground being enjoyed by many... |
 |
| Sometimes it's nice to have a little distance between the lad and the masses... |
 |
| Someone else ready to ride... |
 |
| Think these little cuties are twins... |
 |
| New way to navigate on this apparatus... |
 |
| Playground is on the right behind the statue... |
 |
| Brought a rhubarb tarte back to the hotel with us for a snack after bathtime... He loved it!!! |
 |
| While I sipped my decaf coffee, Cozzie enjoyed the hotel's basket of fun stuff... |
Cozzie is in bed. I'll be there as soon as this blog posts.
Grateful for another day of safe travel and GPS.
At 11 am tomorrow morning, we'll be heading to the final France concert. Don't know how long that drive will be. Will update tomorrow if possible.
There will be another 2 weeks for my hanging out in Europe but the concerts will be in other countries.

What a little trooper Cozzie is with traveling. Such long hours cooped up in the van, yet his nature seems to be pleasant. Guess it helps to have a van full of adults to 'entertain' him! Cute close-ups of him in the carseat.
Glad to hear what wonderful accommodations you're having, the delicious buffet of food prepared for you, safety in travel & how well the concerts are going & being received. Many blessings to be thankful for!
Enjoying 'my tour' with you,
Love Marge
Haven't heard that Brian has fallen to the 'bug' yet. Hopefully he's managed to escape it.
