We passed through downtown and saw the water spout that was closed the previous day due to high winds. The Jet d'eau shoots water almost 500 feet into the air and is very impressive.
It was too impressive to get a good picture.
Best to check online.
We drove onto to Lyon.
Some have noted that we seem to be only discussing food on the blog. This is because:
1. Daphne has always loved cooking food, entertaining friends and family, and the idea of food in France and 2. we now realize that our children have no hope of appreciating this trip for the culture, history, or landscape.
We are able to recognize the obvious and move on. We are.
So - - we are making the kids try food that they may love or hate, but are sure to remember.
Yesterday, I asked them to try traditional croque-monsieur.
Brian and Julia said yes and they brought a tennis raquet sized sandwich with a salad. Both tried it and did a good job. Here is the pictures of the restaurant.
The problem was that Daphne has caught a bug and her stomach cannot handle anything. This is really sad. I would love to insert a personal joke here, but even I cannot.
We did some sightseeing in Lyon before going to Marseille.
The highlight of the day: the novotel hotel in Marseille had a PS3 in the lobby for the kids to use.
