Lyon

This is the just a small glance of my current home town, there will most likely be many more photos to come. It's impossible to describe with only a few photos and words, so hopefully my readers (all 3 of you) can come and visit and experience it for yourself. It's quite different than living America for many reasons, not the least of which is that most buildings are quite old. It didn't take long at all to get used to this fact- it brings a smile to my face to imagine the stories that the buildings carry with them through the years. The city in itself is quite nice because transportation is quite simple. If you absolutely have to, it isn't a huge deal to walk or bike to your destination, and it's a lovely view along the way. The streets are still old and cobblestone in many places, but a lot of them (especially the main ones) have been modernized to fit the vehicles that traverse them today. Again, these photos are just a taste of Lyon, and more will be coming to further illustrate life in one of the largest cities in France!
