The day before we left the US, our very good friend, Dominique, invited us over for Easter Dinner. Now really, who can say no to seeing close friends after many months? And, then, add in dinner with lamb from Ireland? There's just no question!
Our contribution to
dinner was David's choice of nice bottles of red wine and white wine. So, on Easter, the day after we arrived in Lyon,
we hopped on the #13 bus and were on our way to Roger and Dominique’s lovely
home. (We’re still a little amazed we
managed to do that in our jet-lagged state!)
There were eight of us for the 12:30 dinner. Quite a convivial group. Delicious food,
great company, and fun bi-lingual conversations. (Roger, our host, who usually speaks English,
asked Anna at one point why she was speaking to him in French. Excellent question! There must be a lot to be
said for the effects of jet-lag and alcohol on foreign language fluency. May be worth further study….)
and Dominique next to David.
After a very pleasant afternoon and a warm welcome to lovely
Lyon, we headed off to catch the #13 for a ride back.
We managed to get back to our apartment, and pretty much crashed. But, what a lovely way to begin our 2022 stay
in Lyon!
Joyeuses Pâques!
