We are still docked in Lyon along with five other river cruising boats. In fact one is right along side us which was a little surprising this morning when I opened our drapes and looked right into someone's cabin. Closed the drapes in a hurry.
We have found quite a few very interesting people on this cruise. Last night was a good example. We ate with two other couples: one from Pennsylvania and one from Connecticut. Everyone ordered rack of lamb for the entree. However, several also wanted the Eggplant Parmigan (sounds like Chuck, right?) So they brought us a plate of Eggplant which we all shared. It was all delicious. Dessert was crepes Suzette. --another treat. The after dinner entertainment was an accordion player. He refused to play an polkas because that is what is always expected of an accordion player. Played a very nice selection and some people even danced.
This morning we had a city tour of Lyon. It was cold and rainy (tee shirt, long sleeve shirt, cardigan, and lined raincoat with hood). Our first stop was the basilica which stands high on a hill and is visible from a long ways. It was huge and very ornately decorated --lots of gold, mosaics, statuary, etc. Our bus took us to other places but ended in Old Town. It was filled with restaurants with plenty of outside seating which didn't look like much fun in the rain. Also some shopping and then back to the boat and lunch. During a dry time this afternoon, we went for a walk along the river.
