DAY 15. Monday July 5, 2004. AVIGNON. LYON

We spent most of this day on the bus with a stop for lunch at Avignon, the city of Papals, arriving in Lyon at 5:30. We did a quick internet stop but the keyboard was crazy! And the shower curtain was disaster- we flooded the bathroom which wasn’t so good as the light cord was right on the floor. Anyway, we then all headed off to the restaurant district to pick a restaurant after Jeff once again imparted some history on us during the walk (He has shared a lot of history on the bus- he spouts it off much to my amazement. I love history but its not all in my head.) Was surprised to learn they ask how hamburger should be cooked. Isn’t that asking for trouble? Anyway, after dinner a bunch of us met up at a pub. We met some nuclear engineers and the conversation turned to nuclear waste and atoms. The bar tender at this pub was from Holland and a few people were making fun of our attempts at French. A few of us later stopped at a pub near the hotel on the way back too.
