"For the first time since arriving in France last year, it really hits me: the vacation’s over. I’ve come home."... That happened to me after eight months in our new home in Portugal.
I have a trick for when I am stuck or feeling blocked – I go for a walk and I “zoom out”. I slow down and focus on my breath then I let my attention wander to the surrounding sights, sounds and smells. I try to release judgment and just notice. It’s like a mini vacation for my brain. Oh, and I also watch out for traffic!
Your description of the streets of Lyon are very vivid and colourful; I can understand why you feel that you have come home. It seems a beautiful place.
Me, I'm stuck in North Cyprus, where it is 36 degrees C and some days up to 42. I long for green pastures, rivers and lakes.
Home for me is a more verdant place than this Summer dustbowl. I long for the Sun and rain of France in Summer and will one day get there.

It's amazing how it can just strike you out of the blue!
That's quite a Blablacar story. Had Antonio been rated on the site?
Yes, and he had good reviews. Despite the ... idiosyncrasies ... of the journey, he was extremely nice!
I like Blablacar and my daughters use it like nobody's business. I agree that it wouldn't fly in the USA though.

That's a good practice even when you're not stuck! I used to do that every morning while walking beside the Animas River in Durango.

I hope you're able to make it happen! Anything over 30 sounds pretty dang hot (and I was born in Texas!)
Although, I imagine the weather in Cyprus is downright dreamy when it's 5 degrees and rainy in France!
