Originally written on 3/9, en route to Paris…it was a 4 hour train ride. Cut me some slack, I needed something to do! : )
10:37: Leaving Gare St. Roch, Montpellier. Sigh of relief, prayer of thanksgiving.
10:53: Lots of vineyards. And snow. And you can tell that they are not super-used to snow here.
11:09: The other four are passed out dead asleep. We’re stopped at Nimes, another South-of-France small town. French women are irrepressibly chic. Makes me wish I could rock short hair.
11:34: Countryside. This train has a bar, apparently…I’m tempted to go find it. The guy sitting diagonal from me has the most Gerard Depardieu-esque nose I’ve ever seen, and it’s making me happy. Lots of hills…contemplating falling asleep, but I’m afraid I’ll miss announcements or something. Hmmm….
12:09: Kate and I just ate an entire tube of Pringles. With minor assistance from Charlie and Coleen. Très gourmands.
12:42: Taking advantage of our train captivity to clean out and organize the 10,000 photos in my iPhoto library. We just passed a ruined castle, and some grazing sheep and cattle. Very provincial France. I feel like I should be listening to “Beauty and the Beast” right now…
1:41: The bathrooms are smaller than airplane bathrooms, the French countryside we’re riding through right now looks like Nebraska, and my iPhoto library has been so far condensed to 9275 photos. Productive trip…
2:04: They just announced Gare Lyon, Paris. My heart is absolutely palpitating right now. AAAAAAH PARIS!!!! I'm finally here!! Updates soon!
