Visitors!

Thursday Emily came from Heidelberg and Friday her boyfriend Grant came from Florence for the weekend. We stayed out at the Hendrixes, which was wonderful! Pamela fixed us two wonderful dinners and Arlin was a great breaksfast chef! We took them to Bellecour, Place des Terreaux, Fouvriere, Vieux Lyon, and the park! In fact we rode bikes around the park, and although we got there when it was getting dark, they still got to see the giraffes, wildebeests, the porcupine and sandcat, the monkeys, and the deer. Emily and Grant both got to pet the deer and touch the boy-deer's antlers. They couldn't get over how much cleaner Lyon was than some of the other cities they have visited. It is so fun to show people around Lyon- it is such a pretty city. Saturday night we stayed up playing Scrabble in couple-teams. Doug and I won, with Arlin and Pamela close behind... Grant and Emily came in last, but still had lots of fun just relaxing in real home after traveling and staying in trains and hostels the last 2 months.
