Today is the first day that we feel as if we are actually awake. From here on out, it should just get better.
First, dinner last night. We stayed in as predicted. With a spread like this, why not? We all planned on going to bed early, but in reality it was near eleven when the lights went out.

| Dinner! |
Opted not to go to the textile museum.
Instead, we explored the southern area of Presqu'ile, which is the island in the center of Lyon where we live.
First job was to find the car
rental place we'll need when we leave Wednesday. It is the Euorpcar office inside the La Perrache train station. Mission accomplished and then we headed further south to find the large shopping area with the full-sized Monoprix store. Our little stop yesterday was at a Monop' store. It is part of the same company, but doesn't carry much.

| Eglise Sainte Blandine |
On the way we passed a beautiful church called Eglise Sainte Blandine on Cours Charlemagne. Just something that caught our eye.
Then it was onward to the shopping center and the full-sized Mono Prix store. None of us were expecting a large shopping center, but there it was. Now where is the Mono Prix?
Found it! Bought some socks for
Bob and eye brow pencils for Margaret
Headed home and stopped for coffee and water in Place Ampere. That is also where we buy groceries at the Carrefour. Picked up some more supplies such as water “avec
gas,” milk, fruit, and
dish-washer soap. We were going to lay in a
new supply of cheese, but the store was closed for its owners'
lunch-and-siesta time. Naps.
Now heading out to our local fromagerie for that cheese!
