Heat

So apparently before the Americans arrived in Lyon, the weather was miserable. It had rained every day for two months (I know, hard to believe, but that's what they said). But after raining on Tuesday when we arrived, it's been beautiful here. Too beautiful. At some point rain is appreciated, and I think we've reached that point. Steadliy climbing all week, today temperatures reached a miserable 102°F.

But the heat didn't completely stop activities. We hung around until 7 last night, when a bunch of French and Americans met downtown for Fete de la Musique. Basically there were bands playing everywhere all over the city. And I got to order at a French Subway; that was interesting...

This morning we visited a huge park in the center of Lyon. And it was not just a park. In addition to trails, it had a lake, botanical gardens, a zoo, multiple rose gardens, it was incredible! Then we came home and ate lunch, and I ate the best pineapple and watermelon ever.
