Bad air

[dagibbs]

The people I was training mentioned that the air quality in Lyon has been bad the last week, and I noticed a few of the programmable type signs saying to slow down because of pollution, or to car-pool because of pollution. But, I didn't really notice until today -- I decided to go for a walk to get some lunch, about 20-25 minutes each way, and I really noticed it. The air smelled bad, my lungs didn't like it, and by the time I was headed back to my hotel, I even felt like my mouth was gritty. Yuck. Maybe I don't want to find a climbing gym today, after all.
