May 30, Day 8

First of all, please forgive any random, typos- Im on a french computer and the keyboard is all sorts of different; the top to bottom row of keys:
azertyuiop
qsdfghjklm
wxcvbn,;:!
and the shift button is all weird and you have to shift and alt to get different things.. this is odd. I even have to shift for a period. thqts ridiculous.

So Hanna kept me up this night again from snoring.. which sucked, but im starting to get used to it (I actually even threw pillows at her throughout the night and that was even unsuccessful.. funny though seeing her snore with a pile of pillows on top of her). We had a very slow relaxing morning at the teeny little Avignon Hotel de Splendid. Eventually, after getting to the train station, we realized we were at the wrong train station and had to take taxis to the correct one.

SIDE NOTE: Coldplay's Lover in Japan is playing over the hotel speakers here. This marks the second time ive heard Coldplay in public places like this in france. pretty cool.


We got to Lyon after some time and checked into the Best Western hotel which was HUGE compared to what we had been staying in, so that was quite relaxing. We dropped our stuff off and immediately went to the Lumiere Museum, and the Lumiere family is basically known for the invention of cienema. It was fun to see. Also there, I found a flier for a zombie day happening in Lyon-- they were going to show a George A. Romero film, some other zombie film, and then 28 Days Later. Too bad we were going to be gone before that happened. Though, I was glad to find out that french zombie lovers do exist. After returning to the hotel we went to a market a few blocks down and i got a big ol baguette for 1€ which is soooo cheap compared to buying something like that in the states. The rest of the night was super chill. We just hung out and zent to bed whenevz.

Overall it seemed like a short day, which is never a bad thing in my opinion. Also that day I had my official meeting with Easton and Armon about what sorts of photos I wanted to take: those being 1) Street Photography and 2) self portraits in every cafe I go to.

We only stayed in Lyon one night; we headed to Paris the next morning.
