Lyon, July 2008

We went to Lyon after Dijon and stayed with the Dury family... Michael works with Olivier... The Dury family is lovely... Elodie was a wonderful tour guide and chef; and the girls, Amelie and AnnieGirl were asolutely adorable. We visited the main square of Lyon, had a race and climbed a statue... we visited the Roman ruins and a park... we toured the old city and got soaked in a downpour...and in the end, we be-moaned the fact that arranged marriages are not so common in the U.S. or France... (As Rowan and Amelie clearly hit it off well... ) ;-)







































































Dijon, July 2008


Dijon was a lovely trip... it rained some, and lots of things were closed; but on the plus-side, we got to chase pigeons out of a cathedral, see giant wine presses and have good wine and the cheesiest pizza ever...
