Sunday at the park

Yesterday afternoon we went to the park and did the “velo-bateau” (bike-boat).  It was fun… we pedaled our way around the little island in the middle of the park.  Speaking of bikes, we are so sad that we haven’t been able to do the Velo’v bike program in Lyon!  You have to have a French bankcard in order to use the bikes.  But, we have made a reservation to do the Fat Tire Bike Tour of Versailles while we are in Paris!  We are really looking forward to it.  Anyway, back to the park, there is an island in the middle with a big monument with tons of names of Lyonnais who died in WWI and WWII.  We hadn’t figured out how to get to the island, but we found out you actually have to go under the lake in a tunnel.  In addition to the boat-ride and going to the island, we also got yummy ice cream cones that tasted like the Gelato we had last summer in Nice.  So, a very, very HOT, but fun day!
