| French park wherever they
feel like. We had to move (or "bounce") them out of
the way. Cop didn't help with the move, just wrote up a
ticket. |
|
 |
Went to Fragonard in Grasse
to get high on perfume and cologne. Sold brand names without
the names.
Part of the group went to McDonald's instead.
|
| Instead of the usual "wakie
wakie," Kyle used Aqua's "Happy Boys and Girls"
to wake us up. Kyle said something about antipope and skanky.
Stopped at Avignon for lunch
of Jambon Fromage Chavignon Crepe and Douer Kebab with Lebanese sauce.
During lunch, realized I only had 30
minutes left for touring Avignon. Saw and ran through the
Palace of the Popes in 15 minutes.
|
|
 |
Saw and ran through Pont
Saint-Benezet and finished in 10 minutes.
Ran to the bus. Panted hard. Others
asked me what happened then laughed. Oh well. I can now cross
off Avignon from my "to visit" list.
|
| After
playing Divinyl’s “I Touch Myself,” Kyle gave another
quiz.
Many didn’t do too well (I guess we didn’t pay enough
attention), but for the few that did do well, they did extremely
well (must be that back seat help). Jen won a pink elephant t-shirt
and a bottle of wine. |
As
our bus made a u-turn, we saw one of those high speed trains. Kyle
said that like planes, these trains undergo window testing to ensure
they don’t break if something hits them. The French fired chickens
into the windshield, and the windows didn’t do so well, even
though it worked for the people at Boeing. Apparently, the French
were using frozen chicken. Duh.
|
| After
checking in to hotel that left us some food in our room, my
roommate and I explored the streets of Lyon. |
|
 |
For
dinner, we all had Kyle's recommended Salad Lyonnaise. Dale, Brad,
and Steph ordered the sausage, and Darcy and I ordered the “crispy
sausage." They had a rum cake (you can taste the alcohol), and I had the pear
in sauce (or soup).
Joked
about the letter V (for Victory!) and discussed tour views (of
favorite places!).
|
|
Mike, Garrett, JessicaX2,
Amy, Jennifer and I wanted to take funicular to top for great
view of Lyon.
|
|
 |
Had trouble communicating.
Had trouble getting change. Had trouble giving backpacker
directions (blind leading blind). Couldn't get to viewpoint.
Worried about station closing. Had trouble finding the right
tracks to get back down. We had great fun! |
| Saw man handcuffed. Saw
police wrestle him into car. Some of us sang a song
for him. |
|
| Steph and Bruna went to
McDonald's for French hamburgers. My roommate got a room list and started to dial numbers down the list
by twin share rooms to find some people. It was late, and the first person that answered
the phone was Sue. Whoops!
|
Went to room 130 for Uno. Saw
another sex show (on TV this time). Then went to Jen, Liz, and
Julie's room for... |
