Les Theatres Romains in Lyon, France
Aside from eating lots of cheese, bacon, breads, and imbibing healthy large quantities of wine and other spirits (after three months in Morocco, don’t judge!), I had a couple of other things planned for our time in Lyon. One of them was visiting the ancient Les Theatres Romains. As I mentioned previously, being from the States I am fascinated by buildings and other things that are hundreds of years older than my native country....
Where is all the beauty in the world?

Whatever you choose, be sure to consider all your options and that you find the right one for...

I like to learn as much...
