so i was going to write a clever, entertaining, and insightful blog about my first day in lyon, but 1. i was force fed by anthony's family to the point of immobility (nuts, then bread, then 3 slices of melon, then 2 potatoes and sausage, then cheese and bread, then lemon pie); 2. apparently its not normal to simply want cold water to drink, and by the end of dinner i had somehow ended up with 2 glasses of sangria, 1.5 glasses of white wine, half glass of red; 3. french keyboards are impossibly and unnecessarily complicated. so look for updates come monday evening.
