Giving Thanks, Day 22: Getting Away

This afternoon we took the car (a rare event) and drove to Perouges, a medieval town about 30 km northeast of Lyon. The well-preserved buildings date back to the 13th-15th centuries. On weekends, vendors and artisans dress in period clothing. It was quiet today, a Tuesday, but nonetheless we enjoyed wandering the narrow cobblestone streets and exploring the church, museum, and shops. I'm thankful for this chance to "get away" today with the family.
