la crayon

two days ago i jogged in the morning and yesterday, to make up for it, kourtney and i went to les halles de lyon in the morning for some super fancy food-watching/eating. we had to take the metro there, and exited right underneath the big crayon that dominates lyon - the renaissance hotel (pictured above) - into a mall (pictured below).

this morning i decided to take a trek out into the city center of lyon to get some information about the velo bicycles that you can rent from stations around the city, and to explore a little bit. it rained this morning and the light was superb so i brought my camera.

i took the D metro from Valmy in the 9e arrondissement to Bellecour, a big red dirt square. in the above picture, you can see Fourvière in the background (the church on the hill).

the square is home to a tourism office where i asked for a map and a gay guide, and found out that there was no way to rent the velo bikes without a european credit card.
