More fun friday foto's

What a scary looking lion gargoyle guy!

Lyon is the Lion after all so I suppose it is only befitting!
Here is a VERY important dead French man.
It is a shame that I could not get his name...
I am not meaning to butcher the French heritage in ANY way...
I was meaning in fact to honor this man...
but his name eludes me
and I can not read it in the plaque below either...
oops

pretty fancy fountain!

even prettier girl!

oh wait, she's NOT

French

she's....

no don't say it...

American

and...

yep

German...

simply Gorgeous!

Look MOM!!!

Remember these, ooh How I loved these when i was a girl...

I had so many colors and so many patterns, seeing this store display brought back memories of my

CLOSET!

made me want to buy a pair too...

I was leaning toward the blue plaid on the right... whadya think?

One thing we detest about Lyon...

or perhaps all of FRANCE..

who knows upon further travels it may be Europe

is Graffiti.

so so so much

EVERY place you look it seems

to be on even beautiful old buildings...

the young people here have NO respect,

no VALUE for their heritage

no LOVE of their own country

culture

and frankly we just DO NOT get it.

but this was cool, because This was a mural, and someone, sort of took a wall

that normally would be wrecked and ruined

and made it fun!

all the way to the TOP!!!
