Yesterday we went to the market and grocery, went by the SNCF boutique to get our work transportation passes and then went out to Bellecour for lunch. We both got the "Menu Classique" from Brioche Doree... big sandwich, dessert, plus drink for 5 euros! We ate in front of the Louis XIV statue in the middle of Bellecour.
We then went to Vieux Lyon and took the funicular up to Fouvriere Hill.
We walked around a little bit... the cathedral is just so big!
Then decided to walk down. We walked down, down, down, all the way to Vieux Lyon. We passed a trompe d'oil painting...
Then we walked down across the Saone through part of Croix Rousse, to Place de Terraux and took a break at the big Bartholdi fountain.
Then we walked across the Rhone and back to our apartment. We went back to the SNCF boutique to get all the train tickets for our fall break trip with Doug's parents... Lyon-Paris, Paris-Bayeux, Bayeux-Caen, Caen-Paris, Paris-Lyon!
This morning was church... just ate lunch... we might try an English worship service this afternoon at the "International Christian Community" of Lyon. They have non-denominational English contemporary worship services twice a month... it would be nice to sing a little in English :) And it seems like a pretty fitting day, since today is the "Great Communion"- the 200th anniversary of Thomas Campbell's "Declaration and address"... and a celebration for Stone-Campbell movement churches all over the U.S.
