SherriWell, I am back at the Captain Cook Hotel and feeling totally exhilarated from a day trip to the Kenai Penninsula. When I was in Alaska two years ago, my trip was primarily on the Kenai and when I think back to the brilliant and majestic turquoise river,

SherriIt’s 10am and I am watching the sun peek over the Chugach Mountains. It’s a sight I could get used to, this is for sure. Dan wanted to go for a vigorous morning walk and I am catching up on blogging. Always a challenge to write when traveling, as there is more adventuring to be had.

SherriWell, it’s our last night at the regal Captain Cook hotel. The Anchorage component of the Alaskan adventure is drawing to a close. It’s been fun, but as with travel and with life, we must be moving on. We started our day by hitting the Athletic Club to get some real exercise in.
…
SherriI was itching for some yoga, Dan was not quite itching as strongly as me, but he was a willing participant. I found a place online called Heartstream Yoga and Donna’s bio looked varied and eclectic and so it was a go. The studio was located near the Fred Meyer’s and off we went.

SherriI am sitting in an apartment in the Marais, a district in Paris which a long time ago used to be a swamp (the translation of the word “marais”). More recently it was the Jewish district and today is an eclectic mix of people in what is considered an artistic and gentrified part of the city.

SherriToday is cooler, I can tell, simply by the open window in the kitchen and the cool air drifting in through it. Yesterday was a very full day and I hope I can recall all the details, before they blend together, like a nice creamy soup on a cool, autumn day.

SherriIt’s a rainy afternoon in Paris, or perhaps I should say, it’s a dumping cats and dogs afternoon in Paris. After what has been a series of comedy of errors for the first half of the day, I am taking a bit of a reprieve. I am sitting here enjoying a cup of tea and doing some blogging.

SherriNow I am on the train to Lyon – my days in Paris seemed to fly by. I am happy we set things up to have a dose of Paris at both the beginning and the end of the trip. There is never enough time to do Paris.
While I am focused on what’s ahead and am enjoying occasionally glancing out the window and seeing rolling hills,

SherriArtelit is the awesome hotel where we are staying in Lyon and by European standards, it is very spacious. So I am sitting here in comfort, writing about yesterday, our first day in Lyon.
We woke up in Paris yesterday, our last morning in the Marias and it was dumping cats and dogs.

SherriArtelit is a sweet place, and I am glad we found this gem. I smile whenever I turn around, or try to lay my head on something and knock into some piece of art.
We started the day with 20 minutes of yoga. It was difficult to do yoga in Paris,
