All over the city, different light projects were put displayed. I've never seen the streets of Lyon that crowded. So many people came from all over to see the sites. Dom, Emma, ( Read more... )

Due to a lot of school business and incredibly unreliable internet, I have been home from Prague for a week without any sort of blog about it. *gasp* I'll try and remember everything because it was quite a fun trip ( Read more... )
