On the Train to Lyon

We head out of Nimes at 2:30 ( in 2 hours) this afternoon on our way to Lyon. Luckily this train is a speed train, so it will only take an hour to get there. On the unlucky side, it is suppose to be raining all day and through the night. Tomorrow we have all day in Lyon because we are taking an overnight train to Florence. Our train out of Lyon does not leave until around 7, so even if it rains all day today, we will have plenty of time to see things tomorrow. Just checked the weather for Florence and it is going to be a hot time there...around 97 every day! We are quite excited about Italy, especially all the Italian food!! Last night we ate at a good pizza place here in Nimes. We sat outside and the people watching was quite entertaining. I think my favorite of the evening was the man in the long sleeve polo shirt that was completely bedazzled on the back in silver and gold rhinestones. Quite the flashy look..gotta love it. Well, we are going to head out now and find some lunch before boarding our train. We are hoping that all the trains are on schedule..apparently there are a lot of forest fires just south of us in Marseille. Hopefully we will have internet at our next hotel so that we can put up a post tonight!
