Description
Back in the 1980s, Amsterdam was the Sin City of Europe. The city where my boyfriend and I traveled whenever we needed an escape from the Bible-bleating hegemony of the United States. Even grittier than New York, Amsterdam was where sex was celebrated with brothels and boys—and around every corner were cannabis coffeeshops and when the clubs closed, there was Indonesian rijsttafel, a post-munchie tasting feast imported from colonial Dutch culture when the Netherlands ruled the world.

Description
In Lyon, there is a street named for Sister Bouvier who delivered more than 100,000 babies during her decades-long tenure as a member of the hospital order at Hôtel-Dieu (or “hostel of God”). One of the most historic buildings in France, Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon was the hospital where nearly two-thirds of all Lyonnais were born: an imposing structure along the Rhône with a 1,300-foot façade built by Soufflot, the architect who designed the Pantheon in Paris.
