First Day in Lyon by Ryan Feloney (Saturday, 25 May)

My first day in Lyon was great. 

It was great to see our Lyon friends from March and get our trip started. 

We went to Patrick's correspondents house and saw horses, sheep, goats, and donkeys. Then we swam in the pool and are going to bed early to resolve the jet lag.

Great Day at Lycée Saint Marc and Lyon by Declan Webb (Thursday, 30 May)

     This morning I woke myself up at around 7:00, after getting ready Clarisse and I went to the train station in order to get to school, on the way we talked about the day before. I went into today a bit lost as I had neglected to check what was on the docket the night before as I was so tired from the day we had ziplining. Though this day was less tiring than ziplining it was no less entertaining.      I had a great time in the morning at Lycée Saint Marc, enjoying their English language class wherein I got to exercise my voice talent redubbing a zombie movie in english. Soon after I had to say goodbye to Clarisse and go with the rest of the BC High boys to Bernachon’s Chocolate Store. On the way there me and the boys got to arguing the woes of various economic systems and how we had enjoyed Lyon so far. Upon arriving we were greeted by two long tables set with light brioche buns and after a short while we were granted a taste of some of the finest hot c...

First Day of our Last Week at Lycée Saint Marc by Conor Forry (Monday, 3 June)

  08h00-10h00 Me and the boys attended different classes in the morning at Lycée Saint Marc. I personally went to Chinese class where we made traditional necklaces. I found it incredible that most of the French students take English and Chinese (or Spanish) simultaneously. 10h00 Left for the Fourvière Basilica after class, didn’t take us long to get there and we started walking. Here’s a picture of us walking. We made it to the train station which takes us up to the top of the Fourviere Hill. We took the funicular which is a tram way. The tunnel into the hill was pretty long and surprisingly hot which was a welcoming relief as it got cold quick. Here is the lunch we were all given for the pique-nique (pick nick). ●       We made it to the top of Fourviere, and it did not take long. Maybe like a 20 min travel time from the school. ●       We began a tour of the Fourviere Basilica and our tour guide was really nice. He turned out to...

Sunday in Lyon by Charlie Hamblet (Sunday, 26 May)

Sunday was the first full day in France, so it was also the first day to be full of activities. As it was the weekend, we were still with our host families for the day rather than together in a group.  My family started off early with a morning mass. The mass happened to be at the high school we are doing the exchange with, Lycée Saint-Marc, and my exchange student was singing as part of her choir at the mass. What no one had realized was that this was an extra long mass, as it included both a baptism and a first communion. France has mother's day slightly later than the US does, and today was that day, so after the mass, my host family and I went to lunch at a restaurant in Lyon, where we ate local dishes. In the afternoon, my host and I went go-karting with one of the other exchanges and hosts, and the  two hosts' friends. We did a handful of laps for qualifying and then had a full 12 laps of racing. While both I and the other host finished in the bottom half,...
