If you guessed that she's in Lyon visiting her daughter Kari and favorite son-in-law Jonathan, you'd be right. If you guessed she is sitting on the couch reading a good book while Kari guest-writes the weekly blog update for her...you'd be dead on. And let me tell you, I've worked with several editors in my time and she's a tough one. Not only am I supposed to update this blog on her behalf, but I'm also supposed to have it finished by 9 pm so that it'll be up when Pop and Emogene log on to read it. Oh, the pressure of working under such a slave driver!
Riding the metro across town to go pick blackberries and walk along the Saone River
Jonathan and Kari
There weren't many blackberries left, but we got a nice workout stretching to reach the last ones of the season.
Too bad Beau couldn't sniff out berries like a truffle pig.
Beautiful buildings along the Saone on the ride back across town
This is the old city (Vieux Lyon) and St Georges Cathedral.
Lunch after church with some friends of Kari and Jonathan, the Maxsons and the Sarrans.
Before leaving Budapest Mom was able to enjoy the St Stephen's day festivities. Did you know Hungary celebrated the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of their country in 2000? So this August 20th was their 1007th birthday - that would be lot of candles on a big cake! As part of the state-celebrations a large-scale fireworks display is held along the Pest side of the Danube Embankment, opposite Citadel-Gellért Hill.
