Monday

I had a 9:30am train back to Lyon. I cleaned up the Airbnb, gathered my things, and said goodbye to my last weekend get-away in France. The train was right on time and I got on without a problem. About an hour into the ride, we stopped for 30 minutes. The gendarmes came onto the train and forced a man off because he refused to comply with mask rules. I read a Nancy Drew book and got about halfway through a Percy Jackson book before my stop. In Lyon, I waited about 5 minutes for the tram before getting on and making my way to Meyzieu. There, I met Mme Bodet’s husband, Daniel, who drove me home. He told me that they were having Easter lunch at his brother-in-law’s house and invited me to join them for dinner later that evening. I said that I would and was back to my apartment by 2pm.

I spent the afternoon reading Percy Jackson. I finished the book just in time to go over to the Bodet house for dinner. We had a glass of red wine while we relaxed and watched the news together. I confirmed with them that I would be heading home soon and we made plans to go to the bank later that week to get things sorted out. We had a delicious dinner and I headed home afterward.
