Day 141 (20 weeks + 1 day)

I haven't counted the days in such a long while. I can't believe how much time has passed and how much has changed since I first arrived in Lyon.
Yesterday was the Le Fete National which is basically the 4th of July for France, except they only won independence from themselves in the French Revolution. Anyways last night there was a beautiful fireworks show that lasted about 25 minutes. We stood by the river and watched the bursts of lights form palm trees and rain showers in sky between the Cathedral and Le Tour Electrique.
