Since our flight from O’Hare was not only on time, but actually about 30 min early, we have time on our hands waiting for our train to Lyon, where we’ll spend the night.
Our time has been filled in part by an evacuation of the train station, which lasted about 15 minutes. All very even-tempered, but definitely in earnest. Evidently someone had discovered an unattended package, leading to an investigation. As it turned out, there was nothing sinister going on.
After a coffee break, we’re now waiting for our train – due to arrive in about 20 minutes. As you can see, we’re not the only ones waiting.
To my surprise, there were not only Canada geese at the park, but also swans. Or so it seemed. On closer inspection they were decoys–perhaps a strategy for weakening the geese’s sense of entitlement.
