Hope you've been enjoying following me along on this journey so far! This weekend we decided not to travel anywhere, and stay here in Lyon to do some exploring. I am so lucky to be here and I am in a wonderful city. There is so much to see and do, but at the same time it's not a fast paced place. We just take our time doing everything and try and appreciate every moment. I guess that's how all of Europe is, while at home I find it so easy to just rush through the day without appreciating my surroundings or stopping to take anything in.
Most days, we head to the market to do grocery shopping. Our fridge is small so we can't fit more than 2 days worth of food in it at any time. On the weekend the markets are bigger, and I took this opportunity to bring my camera with me and get some good shots of everything. This weekend the market was the biggest and the busiest we've ever seen it. There are two markets side by side, a huge book market and then the produce market.

| They also sell a lot of flowers in France -- this is one ladies stand but it looks nicer in person, it was hard to get a good shot. Their sunflowers here are so nice! |
We tried some of the dried sausage - so many varieties. It's delicious!
