Our "Tour de France" is going well so far. We left Paris on Friday for Lyon - five hours driving plus stops. Sunshine and autumn colours made it very pleasant, though by the end I was glad to unfold myself from a sitting position!
We are in Lyon mainly to visit friends Marc made when he lived in Lyon ten years ago. We're actually staying though with a friend from their church who has a mezzanine for visitors, including private bathroom! Her flat is beautiful, and with Simon's bed tucked under one side of the roof, and ours under the other side of the roof, we don't disturb each other too much at night. We did wonder if we were actually going to arrive the first night, as the friend who took us there got a bit confused, and led us on a nighttime walk through a dodgy part of town before (fortunately!) finding the right place!
We have spent most of our time with our friends and their three boys, but yesterday evening visited another family who Marc also knew when he lived here. We went to their church this morning, and they invited us to say a few words about our plans to serve in Benin, which was a lovely opportunity to share.
Tomorrow we leave again to go down to Orange, and the SIM France base.
