Bonjour Lyon

We have arrived in Lyon!  For those wondering, we are here because I have an internship with an NGO called La Maison de l'Europe.  I do research and help prepare for presentations on the European Union.  La Maison de l'Europe's purpose is to get the French excited and educated about being a part of the EU.  I am specializing in what is currently going on with Europe's economy and updating the presentations they give to schools and businesses.  So I basically just read a lot of articles on the internet and ask a lot of questions about what I'm supposed to be doing.

And yes, everything and everyone is French.  There are 5 other interns, 4 of them French, 1 from Uzbekistan.  Et moi.  They call me l'Américaine.  Nathan is studying for the GMAT, growing a beard and exploring France.  It's a good life we lead.

Here are some of our first photos of Lyon!
