The Lion of Belfort...again

Since Monday Sarah has had another friend visiting. Yesterday the weather was gorgeous, so we decided we would take in the “sights” of Belfort (which means we went to see the lion). They have a little tourist train that runs from the Old Town up to the lion and castle. I guess it is good that I did it once, but next time I think I will walk because the train is so slow it probably takes about the same time just to go by foot! The train is really cute though. They made the headlights into eyes and painted on a little smile and eyelashes.

We actually went out onto the observation deck to see the lion this time, so I was able to get some close up shots. It is really quite amazing when you see it up close like that. After we saw the lion we went to a café and had a drink like true Frenchies. It was a good day!

Although the weather was great yesterday, today it is so rainy and cool. I guess it seems appropriate that today is the first day of summer. I hope the weather is much more summer like for everyone else!
