April 11 Lyon


Another day in class learning Cindy's favourite, grammar.  And we have our first test tomorrow on this grammar and vocabulary from  earlier in the week.

After class we took a tour arranged by the school of the Croix-Rousse district which was once the largest silk weaving centre in the world with over 8000 looms operating.  It's now referred to as Bobo, short for bourgeois and bohemian.  It is the hip, politically left and artsy part of town up on a hill overlooking the main downtown, Presqu'ile.  Here's a couple of shots from the tour.
