Rest of the week...

So besides going to school this week I did a few other things. On Friday I went to get my discount train pass. It will allow me to purchase trian tickets at up to 60% off! Since according to my schhol I was born in 1988, I am still under 25, so I qualified. Now all I have to do is start planning my trips. If anyone would like to sponsor one or two, I promise you will at least get a postcard out of it. :)

Sometimes it is loud downstairs so instead of going to sleep I go down there and hang out. They have cheap Portugese beer. Well I guess all of the hanging around has paid off because I get to start working there tonight! I get to work in the kitchen because I don't understand what anybody says yet - so I guess I just get to bust suds or chop stuff. We'll see.

This weekend in Lyon there is a big celebration of the Lyonaise heritage & there are a whole bunch of tours & buildings open that aren't open to the public all of the time. I am going on a tour of "old" Lyon tomorrow afternoon & I am going to learn about the traboules & where they are. It should be neat. It's in English too so that wil be helpful. I also wanted to go on the gargoyle tour but it was sold out. Oh well.

Today for some reason I went back to the al-Quieda market with the girls. That was my last visit. I found another cute pair of shoes but its just too far away for all of that pushing & shoving. Too many people. I got some huge grapes & some olives too. I'm looking forward to trying them.
