LYON: 

With our 33rd Wedding Anniversary coming up and also the IFLA (librarian) conference nearby, we decided to fly to Lyon. On the weekend, we saw a bit of Lyon and on Monday, I spent the day at the IFLA conference.

Lyon is a charming city and has the second largest metropolitan area in France (after Paris). With a little help from Rick Steve's travel book, we were able to pack a lot of sight-seeing into one day.

St. Jean's Cathedral

Riding the metro...

Place Bellecour

Funiculaire: We rode this up the mountainside

The View from the top!

Wonderful gelatos!

I was thinking of Rapunzel and also of Romeo & Juliet

Roman Theaters

Built around 15 BC!

This was the Rhone River, and we also walked along the Saone River.

There is no better way to finish off a wonderful day and a delicious French dinner, than with Crème brûlée and chocolate cake!

Monday:

During the IFLA Conference, Sandy Hirsh and Michael Stephens (SJSU) talked about MOOCs.
