Today we made breakfast in our apartment which was very fun. Almost like we live here. I made a chevre and basil omelette with toast and fresh oranges. Then we went for a walking tour of the city. Dijon is the capital of Burgundy so there are lots of palaces, churches and government buildings. We followed the Owl Trail. There are 22 points of interest on the walk. You get to each by following a triangular brass plate that is pressed into the sidewalk. It has a little owl on it. And they lead you around the town. There is an owl on one of the buildings that is a good luck charm which is what the trail is named after. The town has a Notre Dame, a triumphal arch and a beautiful park called Jardin Darcy where there was live music playing. We had lunch at Maison Milliere which is a house that was built in 1483. Unfortunately we had some rain later in the day so we are hoping it clears tomorrow for our biking. Just in case, I've reserved a rental car for exploring the vinyards. Tonight we are cooking in our kitchen. Yum.

Mark and Lynn - we saw your blog about your stay in Dijon. We are considering the same apartment for a stay next year and would love to talk with you about your experience. Coincidently, we are almost neighbors as we reside near Jordan Lake.
