After resting awhile from our busy day, we left our hotel at about 8 p.m. to look for a place to eat. Lyon is the gastronomic capital of France and is renown for its Bouchons, a type of restaurant found in Lyon that serves traditional Lyonnaise cuisine, such as sausages, duck pâté or roast pork. Compared to other forms of French cooking, these traditional dishes are quite fatty and heavily oriented around meat, especially organ meats. Needless to say, finding vegetarian options was a little challenging, and we walked and checked out many of the menus that are all posted outside before settling on one.
We all enjoyed our last meal together - Steve was the most adventurous of our group ordering a traditional Lyonnaise meal that included andouilles, sausages made from a pig's stomach.
In addition to enjoying our food, we had a chance to talk about our success in traveling together with 7 adults for two weeks! We did so many different things and we will all remember the this wonderful experience in the years to come!
We talked and talked and then realized that it was almost 11 pm! Time to walk back to our hotel as Betsy, Dave, and Mike had to leave at 6:30 am the next morning.
