And the it was Lyon and birthday celebrations!
Birthday dinner at Claire's....
followed by Birthday cake at Claire's! Here is Cara blowing out her 23 candles! Funnily enough, my 21st birthday in Lyon was celebrated in a similar fashion with tea light candles! A tradition I suppose!
And then it was off to see Lyon in all it's glory for LA FETE DES LUMIERES!
The many changing faces of St Nizier. It was my favourite spectacle/illumination again this year!
It was so beautiful! I could have watched it for hours.

GOODBYE LYON!
Oh cheeeese, wonderful French cheese, how I love thee!
Cara, Claire and Ben in Claire's apartment on the last night of their reunion.
Claire was my much prized French friend who took me to visit her parents in Provence and showed me the countryside. Ben, a fellow Aussie, was my house mate when I lived in Lyon in 2005 and was coincidentally visiting Lyon this year...for my birthday of course...lol!

My dear cara,
I forgot your birthday!! What a terrible friend I am. Anywho I'm going to send you many birthday wishes from here and hope you decide to drop by australia sometime before your next birthday so I can make up for forgetting this one.
Michelle is moving to QLD...again I lament..."you're all leaving me!!!"
I miss you and hope you are living la dolce vita.
Stay warm my pet,
Lis
