Solutré Rock

On the way to Beaune we made another little detour around Macon. Not Georgia. Mom was scouring the tour books and maps for something to see on the way so we ended up at Solutré Rock. It is essentially a big rock cliff that overlooks the vineyards that surround it. Looking at the pictures before we got there it was reminiscent of Devil's Tower in Wyoming, but really it was nothing like it. Here. I'll let you compare the two sites. The one on the top is Solutré Rock and the one on the bottom is Devil's Tower. So yes, pretty different. But the Solutré Rock was cool. And not just to look at. When I got out of the car to walk up to the site, it was cold! Yikes. I walked around for a few minutes and jumped back in the car. Somewhere we lost the nicer weather.
