So Thursday was American Thanksgiving...and since most of the other assistants are American, I celebrated with them! On Thursday night, Maggie and I went to another assistant's house and enjoyed a great Thanksgiving meal amoung friends.
Then on Friday, Maggie, Isabelle and I walked around Lyon and saw the HUGE Ferris Wheel in Place Bellecour that they set up for Chistmas. We then made our way to another Thanksgiving meal, which was slightly more frenchified...but equally as tasty! So although I didn't celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, I celebrated American Thanksgiving twice :)
So after 2 evenings in a row of wonderful food and wine, Maggie, myself and Adan went on a day tour of the Burgundy and Beaujolais wine regions. One of the teachers that Adan works with had offered to drive us around the region and do some wine-tasting.
In total, we tried 10 different wines at 4 different wineries while touring the beautiful countryside and historical small french villages in between. It was definitely something that we would have only been able to see by car, so we were very appreciative that someone had offered to take us! This teacher also knew the region VERY well, and so it was pretty much a guided tour with all of the historical facts included!
We are now very tired from our adventures, but it was certainly worth it. You can't live in France without going on a wine-tasting tour! J'adore ma vie en France.
