Exhausted

I started coming down with a cold or something the day after Amy got to Lyon, on Thursday, and the eventful weekend just worsened my sickness to where now I can barely breathe and I stopped at least ten times on my walk home to take a break. It may be part asthma but my inhaler doesn't help and I can't sleep at night because I hear my wheezing and then cough incessantly. But the weekend was still a good time, walking around Lyon with Amy to the Louis Vuitton store and then eating salads at a café, then going to my medical visit for my green card. Then Thursday she came to my classes and saw how its like pulling teeth to get them to talk, then we ate at the cafeteria and then saw my city before going to the Beaujolias Nouveau wine party at the Chantier. It turns out among the ten of us we split twelve bottles of wine while eating the meat and cheese that cam with it, needless to say I didn't feel well the next morning and Amy slept instead of coming to class with me. That night we went to the movies to see "Indigenes," a movie about the Senegalese and Moroccan people who fought against the Nazis for France in WWII. I just whispered a translation every once in a while to Amy, and it was a really good movie. Then we went to my friends Anne and Gilla's house who lived right there and they cooked us tartiflette and they drank so much that when we went to some random punk concert after they were falling all over me to where it was annoying. The next morning we took the train with John to Lyon and walked around the old part of the city and watched a 500yr old clock chime and then had lunch specific to the region (Lyon supposedly has the best food in all of France) and then we took a ski lift thingy up to the church on the hill called Fourvière and it was the most inticate church I've ever seen. After that it was off to where John lives in Bourg-en-Bresse, 45min North of Lyon where I went out with the assistants there to a club called Le Cap Horn and danced to the weirdest compilation of music until 3 am. It was alot of fun but random old ladies were going on the stage wanting to strip. So you can see now why I am exhausted.
