Cathedrals, Rivers, Food and Carosels

Two things: a lot stuffed in to the last few days and I don't know how to spell carousel. Thank goodness for google!  
We have been having a great time, traveling from Bourg d' Oisans to Lyon to Girona, Spain.  What a feast for the eyes, not to mention the stomach.  Both Lyon and Girona have amazing cathedrals and beautiful waterways running through them.  Lyon is known for their food and they delivered easily.  They also had an incredible carousel that we felt we should have Laine sent over to try out.  She would have loved it!  The cathedral is overwhelmingly beautiful.  It was hard to stop taking pictures.
We arrived in Girona by train yesterday, along with Jocelyn who is with us for a week.  We are staying in the old quarter, surrounded by walls built built during Roman times.  The back of our apt is a part of the wall.  We're thinking we need one of them too!  All the streets are stone.  As a matter of fact, just about everything is stone.  We've got about 100 steps (stone) up to our apt.  You should have seen Stan hauling our bags up them.  We are definitely managing to work off all the croissants and everything else we think we need to eat!  There's a great morning market that we can go to to replenish when we get low on anything. 
Finishing this up, we are in the midst of a big thunderstorm.  Pretty exciting stuff.  It's a lot  better than Spanish tv...
