Everyone has gone off to tour the vineyards of Beaujolais but I have elected to remain on the boat. The bus will take them through old villages, finally touring a vineyard and tasting the wine but I want to stay on the boat and go furthur up the Soane to pick up with them just in time for lunch. Yesterday the boat ride was pleasant but I took a nap just when we went through a lock so today I will sit on the deck and take in the scenery while I enjoy a bit of peace and quiet.
The next part of the journey will be to join up with the Rhone River, finally ending up this evening at Vienne, an attractive Roman town. You can't not be impressed by the construction in this part of the world. The Roman footprint is everywhere. And the medieval glory of these towns are still obvious in their buildings. The good folks of the region have done a good job preserving their past probably because their population has not grown too fast. It is wonderful to share this history.
