Leaving Lyon

It was tough leaving a great city like Lyon.  It is has so many things to offer every type of person.  Lindsey liked it even more than Paris. But then Paris is PARIS!  She said that she could see herself living here.  It wouldn't take much talking to get me to come and visit.  :-)

We enjoyed the river tour.  It shows you a different perspective of the city.  We learned quite a bit about the city during the tour.   Before getting on the tour we enjoyed walking through the market and selecting fruits and nuts for our afternoon snack.  The vendors were all out peddling their goods.  When you walked by they would shout what they offered and the price.  It was almost in a singing tone.  The locals showed up with their baskets to get the meats, vegetables and bread for the day.  Of course, most  people had their dogs with them.  

After the boat tour it was time for a coffee. We headed to the old town and found a quaint place that served afternoon coffees and sweet crepes.  Lindsey is hooked on Nutella and banana crepes.  She has it on our list to purchase when we return home.  They have Nutella here for breakfast.  I know we wont' be doing that.

I can tell Lindsey is getting a little homesick.  Many conversations go back to how she loves our home, her family and Clyde.  I also can tell she is ready for her best friend, McKenna, to stop traveling the world and come home.  She keeps talking about their plans when she returns.  A year away has been hard...for Lindsey!  They keep in touch daily and exchange their travel experiences and that has been helpful. 

Lindsey's school has been corresponding with a French school in a little town in France called Chambery.  We will go there tomorrow and spend the day.  Lindsey will visit the school and get a few pictures to take back to her French teacher.  She hopes to also visit with the English teacher and answer any questions she may have.  So, we are up early to catch the train for Chambery, France.  

Later!
