Washing day

Well it is Sunday again and the strange phenomena of nothing being open, so off the bakery for more French we can't understand but fantastic food. I am sure she is having a great time laughing at us. The problem is they have fantastic food and I swear every time we go in, there is nobody and then all of a sudden there are like 10 people behind us looking at us going hurry up you stupid foreigners.

Today they were only opened for a few hours and they must be getting rid of stuff so we didn't have the normal choice, thank god. I had this sugar coated bread, had to try it and it was nice but way to much sugar.

Next stop washing. Look forward to having a washing machine at our disposal again in Italy but it is always fun going to wash. No socks etc. Now we have all clean clothes again. We got the evil eye from one of the other people waiting for washing machines because we used the wrong size washer.

It tried to snow today and we think tomorrow there will be more. So walking around the streets it is cold and deserted. Finally found lunch, still looking for the best food. I had a lovely lunch and Brett well he keeps picking boring stuff as that is what their local food is. Pork knuckle (who would have thought pigs had knuckles) and sauerkraut.

Walk back home in cold and try and find something to eat and a nice relaxing afternoon in watching tv while Brett researches more food places. He thinks he has found a place for tomorrow.

Tomorrow off to find the silk traders and their passage ways etc. we have another tour booked for Tuesday. This is a free tour by tourist office but by volunteers who love their city and want to show people around. That should be fun.

Nothing much else to report here in Lyon.

Love Monique, Brett, Marty, Kiwi and Hooter
