Lyon: Short and Sweet

Day 4 Continues in Lyon
After crossing into France on our drive we noticed the landscape changed a bit.  The French countryside is beautiful.  We made it to Lyon a bit late, so we saw a few sights downtown and then headed to dinner before calling it a night.  Side note: the public transportation system in Lyon only accepts change, no bills, so be prepared (we were not)!

Monument downtown

I'm not sure what building this is, but it looked cool all lit up

My dinner: Lyonnaise sausage

Day 5: Lyon
The next day, before continuing on to Marseille, we explored Lyon a bit more.  We went to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourviere, followed by the Gallo-Roman.

Roman style amphitheater

This was built in BC times, waaay old

Lyon was a fun city in France.  I wish we could have explored the downtown area more.  Our time there was short and sweet nonetheless!

P.S.  Happy birthday to my beautiful Mommy!!  Her two kids were enjoying France while she was enjoying a camping trip in colorful Colorado :)
