Wine for breakfast!
September 5, 2008
Formal learning concluded at lunch today and we were free explore the library this afternoon. People are enjoying the time to read material that’s in their library but haven’t got around to reading and in some cases re-reading material they’ve read before, but now with different eyes.
La Neyliere was again a-buzz today with the main dining room full for breakfast! Even more amazing was the red wine on the table, and as we were on the way to Morning Prayer, it was being consumed! They were back again for a big lunch and more wine. Some enquiries uncovered they were part of a sales team that covers the south of Lyon, but the head office is based at Pomeys, a district just up the road. With such a large group there’s extra staff on today to help cater.
Micka and Bernard left this evening for Lourdes. With so few busses from St Symphorien to Lyon they are catching a 6:30pm bus in order to board a 1030pm train. It’s going to be a long trip for them but they’ve really been looking forward to making it. Those in our group who have been before say it’s worth doing, and the devotional aspect aside, with so many tourists in Lourdes, there’s great “criac” in town too. The train Micka and Bernard are travelling on is a daily service, it is just about full and it travels non-stop between Lyon and Lourdes.
