Citadines Lyon Part Dieu Aparth

... It was hilarious and I was surprised I enjoyed a puppet show. Lol but did. Apparently these guignols or handmade puppets had been invented here in Lyon probably hundreds of years ago.

I am going to be decorating the Christmas tree in a few minutes and I just finished helping Michel mount the tree. Julie is playing with Christmas lights and I am relaxed in my little French world.

Until next time, and I hope sooner than later xoxoxo

... res. Déjà, on voyait que les rues étaient pleine de gens.

La fête des lumière est un festival toujours autour du 8 decembre (pour dire : MERCI MARIE...lire sur wikipedia si vous etes interessés). Partout dans la ville, on retrouve différentes illuminations sur les batiments ou autres jeu de lumières préparés par différents artistes. C'est très jolie mais ya bcp bcp trop de monde...

... off that, which made the whole experience very nice. I even asked for more water and the bill myself, rather than making Lis use her (far superior) French.

That night we were pretty tired, Lis cooked again and we ended up watching some Pride and Prejudice in French (with English subtitles for me).

In the morning Lis took me to a beautiful park which had a series of themed glasshouses and an absolutely massive lake. It was pretty cold, but very clear. Actually, I ...

... up (JUST KIDDING).

So where am I going with this whole conversation, around in circles, or maybe zig-zags? The point I am trying to make is that you cant deny human nature. The older I get the more I daydream about baby names and wander in the maternity section at stores imagining. I PROMISE its not in a psychotic way. All I am trying to explain is that when someone asks me if I want kids, even though right now I made be totally unsure ...

... s difficult to do in a different language. I have trouble remembering how to say hang your coat in the closet; I am not able to say "I SWEAR JULIE IF YOU DON’T STOP RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THE CONSEQUENCES!!!" So I just use the crazy face for now.

Anyway after talking about Julie for almost an hour we finally got into the issues we really needed to discuss; ME. I knew how Virginie felt and how Michel felt through ...

... to them and see what we can do to make things better though. I have taken the time to think about what changes I would like to see and I feel good about where I stand with them.

I have realized that the worst possible thing, which is also the least likely thing, is that I go home. The world would not tumble in front of me if it did. But I know that would be the easy way out and I am ...

... words that I remembered from high school and order a ham and cheese sandwich on a baguette. My flat is a split level studio apartment. The beds are upstairs and a small kitchenette is downstairs. An inspector from the school came around to check each room and he actually deemed ours and one other flat unlivable! We'll be moving out this week and hopefully have a place with less mildew and more closet space. I have seen most of Lyon since getting here ...

... which basically means it’s connected just fine but refuses to work out of torture) so I couldn’t look up directions.

So humph what to do with my day? Suppose getting ready would be a good first start. I took a bath in the sallede bain because, for those of you who have been to Europe you know the showers are usually tubs with a shower head to hold, feeling lazy I decided to let thwarter fill up in the tub and relax with my free time. Dried off and dressed ...

We didn't spend any time in Lyon, just wanted to show our travel route and add some photos. There have been noticeable differences changing countries. Which of course is nice because that's why you travel. First, I have to remember to say 'bonjour' not 'hola' and 'merci' not 'gracias' etc. Secondly, the French are more refined in their building architecture, their language, food, clothing etc. Thirdly, no more COBBLESTONES!! Occassionally in the old city centres walking ...
