After breakfast and goodbyes I returned to the railroad station. The train didn't leave until 1:30 so I walked around Lyon for several hours. Arrived in Chalon sur Saone at 3 pm. Went to the address I had. After waiting for three hours, the wife came home. She took me to the youth hostel. Later, after a make-shift supper, the husband called inviting me to their house for awhile. He picked me up and I stayed there two hours. There's a Greek from South Africa here also at the youth hostel.

After breakfast with Rene and his roommate I went with them to morning classes. First was optics in physics, then an analytical algebra course and a problem solving course. Had lunch in the cafe with each of Rene's friends contributing from their plates to make a meal for me. Did nothing that afternoon but read. It was too cold and too far to go into town. A London pea-soup fog has descended. It should be snowing again in the morning, although the snows of the last three days have melted. Had dinner in the same style as lunch. Retired early.
No expenses - No mileage
After a strange breakfast of beef steak, bread and Coca-Cola, I took the 11 am train to Chaloz and Lyon. Arrived at the Lyon station at 1:30 but had to wait two hours for my bike to show up. I was understandably mad and to top it off they lost the pump. It took me another hour of cycling through rain to reach the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon (INSA) where Rene Bonaz arrived at 6 pm. Had dinner in the dorm after unsuccessfully trying to slip through the cafe line with another girl's ticket. Retired after several hours of conversation with the guys on the floor.
