Lyon was incredible. Lisa and I were able to meet up with locals both nights and hear some crazy stories. Never did I imagine that I'd be on a boat drinking cidre and talking about how diverse America is with people from Syria, Hungary, Afghanistan, Ukraine, England, Uruguay, Bolivia and of course France. Lyon was definitely incredible, both for the experiences we had and for its history. We were able to travel into the old part of town and explore through winding streets and small corridors. In the afternoon spent an hour or so in the Lumiere Brothers' home, now turned into a museum to celebrate the birth of cinema, and visited the HUGE Parc de la Tete d'Or, which houses a zoo with reindeer and giraffes even.
We are now in Barcelona. I managed to finish my final paper on the train rides over (Yes that one that was due last Saturday...I got permission to turn it in late no worries) and we found a hostel right off the side of La Rambla, Barcelona's big street. Yesterday we did Park Guell and Sagrada Familia and experienced a bit of night life. Today the schedule is more exploring and BEACH!
Sound like fun :)
