A beautiful afternoon for an early arrival on United at Washington Dulles International Airport! But it's a little chilly out there 😅 #UnitedAirlines #IAD #winter #snow

We ascended to #Brambrüesch on the south side of #Chur, the oldest town in #Switzerland, via aerial tram & gondola. We passed through a light layer of clouds on the way up with still more clouds above us after arriving. Visibility was pretty good at our elevation though. #ChurBergbahnen #Grisons

We went to the top of Uetliberg, a small mountain on the west side of Zurich, via train and then ascended a 70 meter tower for a fantastic 360° view of the area. Luckily, there were stairs so no free climbing or any sort of climbing was required! #SZU #UtoKulm #Uetliberg #Zurich #Switzerland

The view from all directions from the top of Bourscheid Castle's tower. Although most of the castle is in a ruined state, it is still an interesting place to visit. The view is pretty good too, we even got a little bit of blue sky! #BourscheidCastle #Bourscheid #Luxembourg

It was another dreary day as we visited Vianden Castle, perched atop a hill above the town below. The castle itself contains various elements from the 12th century until modern times as it was in a ruined state until it was reconstructed. #ViandenCastle #Vianden #Luxembourg

It was quite wet and foggy in the morning in Luxembourg today. It did improve a bit in the afternoon but overall the weather wasn't particularly pleasant. #GrandDuchessCharlotteBridge #LuxembourgFortress #VilleHaute #Grund

Namur reminded us quite a bit of Grenoble, which we visited in November. Like Grenoble, it has a big fortress atop a hill. And the fortress can be accessed by a gondola which goes over a river next to the lower terminal. #CitadelleDeNamur #Namur #Wallonia #Belgium

We saw a plume of ash erupting from Sakurajima, an active volcano, upon arriving at Sengan-en in Kagoshima in the morning. This volcano recently disrupted air travel in the region when it had an explosive eruption a few weeks ago.

We visited Chishaku-in's Autumn illumination event tonight. While most of the fall colors were gone, we did still enjoy walking through the temple grounds. This garden scene was particularly lovely. It was pretty quiet and serene! #Chishakuin #fallfoliage #Kyoto #Japan

We visited Rurikō-in today in northeastern Kyoto for the special Autumn viewing event. Although the fall foliage was well past peak, it was still a fantastic experience and quite different from most temple visits. #Rurikoin #fallfoliage #Kyoto #Japan

Out of all the fall foliage that we saw today in #Kyoto, this little #momiji at the #HeianShrineGarden was the most beautiful!

Merry Christmas! On our second day here at the InterContinental Lyon - Hôtel Dieu, a giant teddy bear appeared. The next night, a Christmas Tree showed up. And tonight, it is lit!
