April 7 Lyon

No pics today - we left the SD card in the computer when we checked out of the hotel and stored our bags.  We did see the sun and basically just killed time in Presqu'ille from noon to 3:30 when we taxied to our host family for the next 2 weeks.  Marie and Patrick are quite nice and trying hard to help us with French.  Had a great meal with wine, cheese and an experimental lasagna made with gallette instead of pasta.  Worked very well.

Our home for the next 2 weeks is at 6 boulevard Anatole France (45°46'19.5"N, 4°51'23.3"E)

School starts tomorrow at 8 am sharp with an oral test!

On the deck in the back yard with a lot of snow still needing to melt.  Looking forward to no snow in a few hours.
