The rest of our stay in Lyon was walking around, drinking, eating, and hanging out with friends. So, essentially, perfect.
Delicious ice creams. It is actually more like gelatto in France. Lemon is one of my favorites. Or if you're getting two scoops get a combo of lemon and raspberry. So devine.
I realize that Minneapolis is beautiful in its own right, in its own ways, but can you imagine being surrounde by so much beauty and history and grace all the time? I think it would be romantic.
My only complaints are the (poorly done) graffiti (mostly just dumb tags) and the often overwhelming smell of pee as you walk down a street. That's all over France, though especially in Paris. But we'll get there later.
After dinner (which was delicious) we walked down to meet some more friends for drinks on one of the boat bars. They are actually called péniche but I really liked the way boat bar (BOATBAR) sounds.
The sunset over the river was beautiful, and the city lights dancing on the water afterward was breathtaking.
Carl said he's rather go back to Lyon than Paris again. I can't say I'd complain.
