Two Pictures I Actually Took

Slowly rejoining the electronic age...anyway, here are two small glimpses of what life actually looks like for me (rather than Google Image Searches).

The first one is the small courtyard of our townhouse, a pleasant place to sit when the weather is nice. Which it hasn't been. The wall is at least 8 feet high all around, so it's very secluded and we can even let kitty outside without fear that he'll find a way over.

The other is the southern end of Parc Tete d'Or, looking from a playground near the carousel across the deer park toward the Blvd des Belges and the 6th--a neighborhood where we've been concentrating our apartment-hunting. The park is Boog's favorite place, unless you consider the Metro to be a place. By the way, if you're ever on the Lyon metro with kids, be sure that on the D line you ride in the very first car (or the last). Since the D is automated, there's no driver, just a big bay window at the front of the car. Whoosh! And you're Han Solo making the jump to hyperspace.
