Follow along with our current trip or explore past adventures. Our blog title is a bastardized portmanteau of our family name, Farnsworth, and Dolce Far Niente, Italian for “The sweet art of doing nothing”. So this is us getting very accomplished at wasting our time having fun.

- Happily at our next stop: Lyon
One last, lovely meal at La Ferme before heading north towards Lyon. The weather there was forecasted to be great so we pack up our rain gear and Scott puts on shorts. What we neglected to do was check the weather at our planned interim stop, the Plus Beau Village of Balazuc. It was a really great little town but it was cold and, just as we sat down to an outdoor lunch, rainy. The umbrellas helped some but we still had to make it back to the car (a little damp and worse for wear)! I got outvoted in stopping at the Cité du Chocolat Valrhona in favor of getting to Lyon earlier. At our VRBO we got a high speed tour and explanation of the apartment from our contact (on speed, cocaine, just hyper???). The guys happily returned the rental car while Nancy and I settled in. We found a nearby grocery store for breakfast supplies, enjoy a glass of rosé, and headed out to one of Leon’s famous bouchon restaurants for dinner. Had a nice walk along the riverbank before bed.
