Heading Home Soon

This morning we went back to the mother house here in Lyon and worked on our projects that is part of the requirement of this pilgrimage and must be completed at our ministries in the next 1-2 years.  After lunch we toured the Basilica Notre-Dame de Fouviere also in Lyon.  We had a private meeting in the small chapel part of it where Mother St. John Fontbonne would walk to pray in every morning. (For those who are not familiar with the sisters' names, they give up their first name when they enter the order and are given a new one.  So, she is not a saint, her new first name was St. John. Or, here in France, St. Jean.)     In the chapel everyone presented their projects to the group. 
Tonight is dinner by chef Paul Bocuse.  Apparently he is a very famous, international chef but I would have to Google that to know for sure.  Maybe some of you culinary types know who he is. 
Well, with mixed emotions that is probably it! Traveling home tomorrow.
Leave Lyon at 5:30am for an 8:15am flight to London.  Then, leave London at 11:05am to arrive at LAX at 2:20pm.  So, by the clock, 8:15am to 2:20pm is just over 6 hours to get home even though we will be traveling for about 18hours.
