Salut!
In continuation of my Happiness Challenge, I need to think of something positive that happened on this day. I am writing this from the future so I have to think back to Monday, November 14th and remember what I did that day.
On Monday, I was happy to have found a really interesting tea place with a friend, Everett, in Croix-Rousse. This place is an interesting part of Lyon. For the entire month of October, this neighbourhood held a carnival. Anyway, the tea house we went to had an incredible amount of options. I played it safe with some Jasmin tea but I probably should have branched out. Anyway, this tea place possessed a beautiful lounge area on the second floor which we only found out about after finishing our tea. So, if you ever find yourself in this tea place by the Croix-paquet station, look up!
Later that day, I was meant to go to class. A lecture on tragi-comedy? Sounds inviting. In retrospect, I would have definitely benefited going as I try to write my paper on The Winter’s Tale now. However, I thought to myself, I cannot survive this cold. That thought in itself is true to a winter’s tale.
This thought process lead me to Part-Dieu, the mall with an uncomfortable amount of people inside. I was happy to have found a new winter coat, boots, and gloves. Now I definitely cannot complain about the cold. I should be fairly set now as winter is coming. One would think that someone from Canada could bear this temperature. I find the weather here much similar to Vancouver’s weather, and there is less rain in Lyon too. However, I am still uncomfortable with any chill. One could even say that I have no chill. All (terrible) jokes aside, the weather here is good, the day was good, it’s all good. All in all, I was happy to have grounded myself back to Lyon after last week’s episode marathon of homesickness.
It is now 10:07 PM, or dare I say 22:07.
À la prochaine!
