As others have said on this one and elsewhere, I appreciate your honesty. It's certainly refreshing. I loved this post. I'm the same way about travel, and it does take me a while to adjust. Also, I put on weight for the first time in my life as an 18 year old travelling in Italy. The walking does not offset it! Anyway, I've just moved to Europe from the Bay and this post rang true for me in so many ways! The different schedules, the language barriers, the surprising style homogeneity. That said, I love it here. It's a big adjustment, though! I’ve recently started reading your blog and am working my way through some old posts.

One thing I learnt is that you should always watch where you're going! The architecture is so amazing that I constantly wander around staring up... unfortunately this lead to me walking straight into a lamp post in front of a huge strike rally. :( Paris is such a beautiful city!

I know there were days where I would walk at least 25 flights of stairs through some of those big hubs (Bastille, Montparnasse, etc). When I returned to the states, I was worried about getting back into exercise because I hadn't exercised for about a year in France, but it turned out that walking/climbing kept me in shape just enough. Wedding diet...good luck!! I think the walking really does help, but mostly because of the metro.

Yes to eating, but SO many people were like "Don't worry, you'll lose weight walking no matter what you eat!" and I wanted to make sure there was a voice of reality in the mix. Especially for those of us on wedding diets! All that walking WONT burn off eating French ice cream and croissants all day long, at least if you're a chubby Italian girl careening toward 35! ooh, Lyon sounds great!
