Dad comes to visit!

Dad loves Lyon!

So yet another visitor to France....my one and only Dad! He spent his entire March Break with me and we had an amazing time!

For the first few days, Dad stayed in Lyon while I worked and did some touring on his own. Then on Wednesday, we set off to Toulouse! Although we soon discovered that our apartment was very close to what seemed to be the Red Light District, the Cafe up the street with the amazing coffee made up for it.

From Toulouse, we went on a day trip to Lourdes, a place that my father has been wanting to go for a long time....and I was really glad I got to share that with him. Despite the tacky religious objects that you can buy on the main street, Lourdes was very beautiful and especially peaceful.

So at the end of a busy but quite relaxing week with Dad, he headed back to Paris to catch his flight while I made my way back to my home away from home.

Toulouse and Lourdes were beautiful, but it made me realize how much I really love Lyon. Nothing compares.

Hey Everyone...

Yes, I know it's been quite some time since I've blogged. I think part of the reason is that I'm really starting to feel like this is my home and not just a crazy travel adventure.

I am just at the very end of my 3rd 2 week vacation in 5 months.Let me say it again, I love France.

For the first week of the vacation, my boyfriend Chris came to visit. We mostly just walked around Lyon, saw all of the big sights and the small ones too...and I even discovered things I had never seen before! One of the days he was here, we did a day trip to Annecy. For those of you who have never heard of Annecy, it's said to be the "Venise of France" since it is known for it's rivers. However, the most beautiful thing about Annecy in my opinion is that it is right beside the alps. There is a huge lake, Lake Annecy, and right behind it are the mountains (see pic).

So out week was very relaxing, we ate some great food, enjoyed the nice weather and my favourite part was that Chris got to really see my home away from home.

The second week of vacation was pretty low key as well since my roommate was still travelling all around Spain and Morocco. So I had the place to myself, which was interesting. Did a lot of sleeping and watching Dexter. But now she is back and has just finished telling me allll about her wonderful adventures!!

So now I am sitting here in my living room, wondering why I didn't do any preparation for work before...comme toujours!

Only 7 weeks till the next vacation and only 2 weeks until dad comes to visit!
