Wednesday stroll

This afternoon we went to Bellecour to look for the St. Exupery statue that I just read about. St. Exupery was from Lyon... the statue was put up in 2000 for the 100th anniversary of his birth.
I love this quote from Le Petit Prince:
(One only sees well with the heart. The essential is invisible for the eyes)

We then walked over to Vieux Lyon and then back over the pedestrian bridge.
And had a gouter from Brioche Doree- they had a special for 2 euros for a massive pain au chocolat and a hot drink.
It is so much colder than it was last week, but it was still really pretty today... not a cloud in the sky!

i think you are having too much fun and you must stop. the rest of us are feeling bland. but, if you must keep having fun then keep updating about it, so that i can become more jealous!

maybe you should come visit your parents and then visit us too!

I love seeing pictures of Lyon that others have taken. Always cool to see the city through another's eyes. I love that red bridge!
