Our Trip to Lyon

We left apartments in Colmar and walked to the train station - I definitely don't feel like I got to see Colmar fully and would go back there again.


We took a four-hour train trip to Lyon arriving there about 3:30 p.m. We then had to figure out how to get to our hotel - we ended up taking a bus.

It was raining (again!) in Lyon - oh well, it makes me all the more grateful for the nice day we had in the Black Forest in Germany!

After getting settled in our hotel rooms, we set out to explore a little and find some place to eat. We settled on a cafe that seemed to have a good variety of French specialities. Our dinners were excellent - Dave even tried Foie Gras, a French delicacy made from "fattened duck or goose liver." It was nice to be able to sit inside out of the rain during our meal.

After our meal, since it was still raining hard, we walked back to the hotel. Diana and the guys all played Hearts, and Greg and I relaxed and worked on our final travel plans. David, Mike, and I are leaving Lyon very early Saturday morning, so tomorrow, Friday, is our last day all together!
