Friday was our orientation with other secondary assistants in Lyon. It was actually pretty useful and we got to meet lots of other assistants, which was fun. Several of us walked around Bellecour and stopped at a cafe. We invited two over for supper afterwards for Doug's famous meatloaf, roasted potatoes, green salad, and plum/apple pie.
Saturday we met another assistant and went to Hotel de Ville (city hall) which was open for tours. It was like a mini-Versailles! Afterwards we walked over to Bellecour for lunch at a bouchon. Afterwards we picked up the very popular "Petit Paume," a city guide made by students, and saw free concerts in Bellecour. The theme was '50s (American) rock, which was humorous. It is just kind of funny to hear Elvis sung with a French accent.
Today was church and then lunch with the Hendrixes. They took us to a really good restaurant near their house that is Italian/Syrian. Interesting combo, but very good food!
This afternoon we just did laundry, watched a movie (the Hendrixes have loaned us tons of movies!), and did some paperwork and other organizing. We have just about planned our trip for fall break and are also working on a Paris trip to meet Bobby and Bonnie in November. We have all of our train tickets and hotel reservations... just need to finish planning the other stuff!
Well time for bed... tomorrow's a teaching day!
