day 2

I loved learning about the silk industry and how much work actually goes into making such a small amount of silk. I thought it was interesting how buildings were built with especially large windows to allow the weavers to see with as much natural light possible, and how you can look around Lyon and see how many buildings seem to have been built for silk weavers to live and work in. I also enjoyed learning how much of a battle took place with Americans and French inventors and filmmakers, I hadn't realized there had been so much struggle for receiving credit.

  1. Learning about the international fight over filmmaking was pretty fun. The inventors and entrepreneurs fighting over who gets credit or has the right to do something was crazy.

  2. I thought the buildings designed for the silk industry was interesting too! I never would have known what was going on inside the building based on looking at the outside!
