A breezy, cool Sunday morning and RV is fast asleep.We hung out with Mom and Dad last night which was a treat. They seemed to genuinely appreciate the intimacy of the diverse crowds walking through Lyon in the search for the numerous interactive light sculptures decorating the city until Monday.
The festival itself has grown and many locals are a little dismayed by the popular-isation of the event but I don't care. It was a very happy moment to see these two kind people see their son making his own in a foreign city. Their kindness and warmth, towards yours truly, touched and reassured me as I walked nervously to meet them at the local. They are discovering a new French city, they are discovering their son's new world and also having, what I hope to be, a small relaxing vacation in "our" home. I am a very happy girl...
We are a bit strapped for cash at the moment but hope to reconcile this with creative projects and some future gigs in Paris after the New Year, so it isn't so bad.
Christmas can be hard on lonely people and those who have no relatives nearby but it doesn't have to be so. I have a feeling things will work out just fine.
