Last wee while a Lyon...

Well, it has to be said theres been a sever banter-vacuum here over the past few weeks thanks to what the french call 'partiels', what we call 'shambles' and what are commonly known as 'exams'. They are mostly, though not quite fully over now and so its back to our usual life! Only 1 week to go! Gutting!!!


Jill, Phil, Amy and me waiting for Olympic Lyonnais team bus to arrive - they had just played the last game of the season and so after collecting the trophy they won at the stadium in Gerland they did a tour of the city and ended on a big stage at Hotel de Ville (where we were).

Lumieres!!

Down by zee riverside - Les Berges du Rhone have recently been reopened and so every night they're piled full of people making merry and generally enjoying the lovely weather!

Les lyonnais sur les berges.

Team Erasmus hard at work boozing it up!

Liz, Silke, me, Bryan, Aine enjoying the 36 degree heat :D

Rita (Helsinki), Catherine (Quebec), Liz and Jill with rather a lot of vino!

Everyone's starting to leave lovely Lyon and returning to their homes far away from what has been by far the best uni year any of us have ever had... Its really sad to see everyone go knowing that the likelihood of seeing some of them ever again is fairly slim but invitations have been extended for many a future visit - don't be surprised if i spend the next 20 years travelling round the world trying to relive 'Erasmus Universite Jean Moulin Lyon 3 06/07'. WHAT A YEAR!!!!

over and out
