Chez Medecin

I have been sick with the flu for the past three days, so nothing very exciting has happened (except that I went to see a French doctor this morning who prescribed me more things than any American doctor has ever prescribed me in one visit for a common flu: tylenol-ish pills, pills that are supposed to help me get all the shit out of my lungs that's making me cough every 5 seconds, a nasal decongestant spray, pills to help me stop coughing at night so that I can sleep, and antibiotics that I should start taking in a couple days if things haven't improved. And I got my very own thermometer.)

So, I've decided to use this incredibly uneventful time to post some photos on here of the eventful experiences I've recently written about, in no particular order (as well as some pictures of the city in general. Also, almost all of these pictures are courtesy of Molls).

Lyon:

Bottom: The Basilique up close


Top: Cathédral St Jean in Vieux Lyon by day
Bottom: By night


Top: Inside the Croix Rousse (where I'll be living in a week and a half) metro.
Bottom: Pont de l'Université. I walk across this to go to school every day.

Friday night at Rachel's apartment, aka the cereal box game and dance party:



Okay basically, first picture: trying out the "frog" position. This one worked for Ruby really well. It did not work for me. Second picture: trying to figure out a new approach. Third picture: Utilizing "the lunge." This ended up being my standby and won me the game. Morgan and Rachel were fond of the "straddle," which is what Morgan is demonstrating here in the fourth picture.
Below on top: Cereal box game champions (Ruby was a fake champion, after she got eliminated like 3 rounds prior she was bossy (tee hee hee) and decided to re-enter). That little piece of cardboard I am holding was what we ultimately had to pick up (off the floor with our mouth only thing that can touch the floor are your feet. My hands were on my front foot).


Below top: Dimitra (the blonde bombshell-besides Molly, clearly) teaches us a traditional Greek dance. Bottom: We (especially Rubes) show Dimitra how we go dumb.





The French/All Blacks Rugby game at Place Terraux:


Last picture: The aftermath.



The Olympique Lyonnais vs. Glasgow Rangers football match:

On the left: our view of the field. It might seem far away but it was perfect.

Below: Me taking part in the typical Glasgowian Rangers fan pregame song and cheer.












































Last picture: My favorite picture of Molly ever.



The night we went to the boat when Braden was here:
