Lyon weekend

Alain, Dominique and myself on a bridge crossing the Rhône.

Il y avait du monde!
MARMITE! I ate it again for the first time since I've been in France! And what a delight that was...pleasent memories of my childhood came flooding back, it was quite overwhelming. I've tried to introduce it to my host family, didn't go down very well at all! I havn't yet heard of a Frenchie who likes the stuff. In fact anyone whos not from NZ or Australia! All the more for us
The Sunday afternoon we went off de faire le vendenge. Picking the grapes in the vineyards! It's the big season for that now. Mon and I were doing it with her Rotary club in the famous wine region 'Beaujolais.' It was a great thing to experience in France, the home of wine. We were the lucky ones, only did the afternoon beacause we went out the night before! People usually do it for 3 or 4 weeks straight, that'd be hard work!
