Today my old and dear college friend John trained down from Paris to meet us in Lyon for lunch. We had a great day starting with lunch at Cafe Sillon ( more about lunch in the next post). Then we took a funicular ride up the hill to the old Roman theaters and a steep walk up to the top of the hill where we took in the giew at a cafe next to the Basilica. After resting there we took a different funicular back down and walked around the old town at a more leisurely pace than our previous tour allowed.
