17 Place Carnot Lyon, Rhône-Alpes, France, 69002, 4-7837-4847
082806 Lyon Deilmann really pushed the easy button for our departure. The taxi came, the sailors brought our bags from the room and put them in the trunk, and we drove the block to our hotel. The reception at the Hotel Campinile was very welcoming. Our room wasn't ready but we put our bags in the storage room and she told us how to buy a day pass for the metro/bus/tram and take the tram to Les Halles. What else to do on a Saturday morning in the gastronomic capital of France, before any of th...

... much as I care for them, and that in itself makes being here priceless.
These last few weeks have I have gotten happier and happier which is hard for me to believe. Not because I am surprised that I am happy, but because I am surprised that I am happy with certain things in my life that would normally "ruin" my attitude. You know that people say not to question happiness but I find myself totally baffled at the fact that despite negative ...
... t think it rained the whole time I was there, which made a welcome change from the UK!
Speaking of the UK, I've also just got back from a weekend in Bath (yes, I know, packing a lot in to my last few weeks here!). It is a lovely town, if expensive, and made lovelier by the fact it's Xmas time and all the lights and decorations were up. Anyway, Bath will have to wait for another blog as I need to go and do some work.
Looking forward to some hot weather soon,

... 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 ...
... a bad attitude and not wanting to be involved.
That’s really just the tip of the iceberg. I am not even going to get into the rest, but basically I have enough to deal with in my own personal life than to add everything else that their asking me to deal with. It’s so confusing and I feel like there is no way to make my feelings clear. They want me to tell them what I am unhappy ...
... parts are very pretty and there is history everywhere, so much history that 300 year old historical sites are just left untouched and falling apart. Lyon is the second largest city in France but it has a small town feel. The metro system is very simple and very clean. It is a college town and young and beautiful people crowd the streets. So much so that I fall in love with a new French girl everyday just on the bus ride to school.
As far as school goes ...
... downstairs for breakfast at lunch time. I took a chance and made my own espresso this morning, successfully! I cut a small slice of day old baguette and put some all natural confiture (jam) on it and had a slice of fresh juicy cantaloupe. The day has been so far so good.
Without the internet to entertain me and not wanting to just sit around and watch TV I decided to help around the house. Their femme de ménage (house keeper) just recently quit and why not help out? We’ve ...
