More of Lyon and Geneva

After a nightmare drive through downtown Lyon in which I encountered every possible traffic hazard except for a pack of dogs, we found a parking spot at the bottom of a parking garage. But, we parked close enough so that we only had a short uphill walk to Lyon's ancient Roman ruins.

These Roman theaters were built around 43 A.D. but remained mostly hidden until they were uncovered in 1980. Mom and I climbed to the top of the theater stairs to check out the Museum of Gallo-Roman Civilizations, which is free on Thrusday...which is when we went. Free is nice.

 






We took my parents to Geneva too, and the weather was better then the first time we went, so more picture taking was in order. I also wised up this second time and didn't go wondering so close to the Jet d'Eau fouuntain, only to have the wind change.

I liked Geneva even more the second time; not counting trips to the airport. The great thing is that Switzerland still uses francs, which are just a tad bit weaker than the dollar. Things were still expensive but it just doesn't seem as bad.
