LYON

Got to Lyon late in the day. it is quite a nice looking city if you like old and grimy. The best thing was sitting in the enormous square watching 2 opposing groups of dancers one doing Tango and the other Salsa with Hifi blaring and the donging of the bells from the churches. My salsa was clearly insufficient to join in. Its at the confluence of the Rhone and Saone and obviously historically significant in terms of commerce..but I don't now about now. It has a bit of a run down feel about it. its the 2nd largest city after Paris. Nice walk ways along both the rivers. Will check it out more when I get back there on the 11th. Battery crashing Bye
