Lyon

One weekend I visited my friend Jolene in Lyon, France's second largest city. I went with my Brussels friends Jon, Patty, and Marissa. We arrived on Monica's birthday and went out to dinner almost immediately to celebrate. The three-course meal was delicious. I had a salad with a piece of goat cheese inside that was excellent. Afterwards we went out to a pirate-themed shooter bar. The place was very crowd, but nonetheless fun. Lyon certainly lived up to its legendary nightlife.

The next day Jolene led Patty and me through the city. It was rainy, but we enjoyed walking the streets of the city. After we met up with Jon and Monica we went to the Lumiere film museum.

After a delightful dinner on Saturday night that Monica made, we went out to a club on a boat on the Rhone river. It was very fun, but expensive. The next morning we went up to the Notre-Dame de Fourviere, a cathedral perched on top of a will that overlooked the entire city.
