14 Oct 07 - Last day in Lyon

Our final day in Lyon consisted of lunch with Andi's host, her neighbour and Marie-France.

It was quite a gruelling task for an 85-year-old to prepare a full meal for 5 but she did it anyway. That shows something about the French hospitality.


The table meticulously laid out

After lunch, Marie-France kindly offered to send us to the train station and when we said our adieus and hugged goodbye I made a promise to myself to return to visit her and Lyon one more time before my return to Singapore.
