October

 Here is my first post in October. Woo.

I am currently in Lyon, with some new friends, having a grand old time. Yesterday was amazing, we got into Lyon at around 1pm, and walked back to their house to drop off our stuff, we then walked around Lyon, and took this epic walking adventure for like 3 hours. We walked around this really cool area called "Old Lyon" and all the streets were really cute and windy. Then we walked up probably, one million stairs, and were in this suburby neighborhoody area, and we were just amazing that people just live life here. It was so cool.

We then met back up with the friends who live her, bought groceries, which I am still amazed at how cheap some things can be here, such as food from the grocery store. I can buy a weeks worth of groceries for  like 9 euro. Amazing.

Anyway, then we went back and made the cutest little dinner with us two, megg's two friends, one of which who lives where we are staying, her roommate and her two friends. It was the most adorable, we were all sitting in the bedroom around a couch and little stools as we were munching and drinking red wine, it was amazing.
After that we went out to this really cool bar that was enormous, and it was packed, but no one was dancing, so of course we changed that. They played some really amazing music and it was just fun to dance and have a great time with a big group of friends.

Today we went to the "Puce" which is the flea market. It was great! I got an awesome pair of shoes, and a present for my mom. I am officially on my game for Christmas. Now were are relaxing at the house, doing homework, listening to music and watching the trains go past, as there are a bunch of train tracks right outside the window.

Just wanted to give y'all a little update!

  1. If anyone asks you've been a practicing Cathar all of your life....since it's the only true religion after all!
