the pride and joy of Lyon's churches, set on a hill and everything, it truely was magnificent.
the walls were covered in mosaics which inspired even me, the ever-not-so-crafty, with ideas for DIY projects on our future home.
taking a little break, and yes, a nap, too, at the local roman theatre remains.
a roman statue, chiseled to mythilogical god-like perfection.... oh wait! that's my husband!
in front of a cool fountain whose pic we've left out cuz we're keeping this short as we're super far behind on the blog...sorry folks-guess we've been busy?
one of the many bridges over either the Rhône or Saône River which makes a peninsula of the down town, or centre-ville.
a HUGE place or square with the above church tiny in the background.
how cool is that? huge fountain with ball-shaped bouquet and a lone bike rider passing by

in prep for the next picture, remember me saying Lyon is the culinary capital of France? Well, even after spending some 8ish months there, believe it or not there's still a few dishes i hadn't tried, one of them being andouillettes . i think i'd read somewhere, sometime about what ambiguous animal parts made up this very regional specialty, the region which boasts Lyon, so i figured, when in Rome, right?

and now i ask you...which is worse? To have a dish that looks so amazingly delicious it makes you salivate in anticipation, but ends up tasting like throwup or a dish that LOOKS like throwup, but ends up being suprisingly tasty and intriguing....
believe it or not, i actually enjoyed my dish of edible intestines from various farm animals
Lyon's very cool park included a free zoo!
in case anyone's been wondering about my busted-up knee, it oozed for many a day, or week afterwards...i'm actually sparing you some pics as ben is positive noone else wants to see the day-to-day healing process which i insisted on documenting

Ben,
I am concerned about Katie's knee
and that it is still oozing after a
number of weeks. Have you been to a doctor or visited a pharmacist to get medication for the wound? If you have not please do that because there is a possibility of
some type of blood infection which could lead to something serious. It realy needs to be checked. Please do this soon, so as to be safe and not sorry.
Love, Mom
