Photos

Photo time! This is just a minute sampling of my photos, but it will do.

Cathedral Saint-Jean in Lyon (and no, I did not Photoshop this)

Paul and I at Parc de la Tete d'Or

Clément and I (one of my ten-year-old groupies)

And the computer's kind of sluggish at the moment (have no idea why - it was fine a minute ago), so I'm ending here. I have a photo of the Lyon landscape somewhere....maybe another post tomorrow.

So today in the morning we visited a neighborhood of Lyon called the Croix-Rousse. Formerly the home of Lyon's finest silkweavers, it has a large history, and a guide took us around the neighborhood and told us everything (literally - in the heat it was a little boring at times). Then after lunch we visited the centre d'histoire de la résistance et de la déportation, basically a museum of whatr we call the Holocaust. It was quite interesting because Lyon was the center of the resistance for France. Also, the building that the museum is in was the Gestapo's headquarters when they occupied Lyon. When you go downstairs, you can still see writing on the walls from the prisoners held there. Quite moving.

And then we had our farewell dinner at the school. We only have one day left before we go off on our own to Paris!
