We started the day at school, shadowing our host brothers in their
classes. During the class I attended many students presented on various
topics. I did not understand most of the presentations, but I managed to
catch a few sentences and phrases. After class we had a short break
before orientation. During orientation we received an schedule as well
as some information about the school. We then went on a tour, learning
of the school's many recent renovations as well as the difficulties of
such an old building. We also were able to go out onto a rooftop deck
and get a spectacular view of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de fourvière.
After the tour of the school we ate lunch with our host brothers. We
then regrouped and took the subway to Vieux Lyon (Old Lyon). In Vieux
Lyon we went on a guided tour that included the Lyon Cathedral as well
as Les Traboules (small tunnels going through buildings to give access
to small courtyards and apartments in the middle of a block.) Once the
tour was over we had some free time to look around at some of the stores
and restaurants. Many of us ended up getting flower shaped ice cream.
We then returned to the school, where we were picked up by our host
brothers to go home. -Andrew
