Got "home" today. Took a night train from Paris but couldn't sleep so got into Montpellier feeling quite cracked out at 6 a.m. Had very good luck getting to the bus back to Ganges, though, which was awesome. The busses are not that often and I caught the 6:45 with zero minutes to spare (had to take a tram from the train to the bus station) and was sooo happy cuz the next bus was at 11:30 and I would have had to wait out in the cold or head back to central Mont. to kill the time.
Threw up in my water bottle on the bus. Sorry to throw that in but it was kind of sudden and strange. I think maybe the fumes on the bus or the lack if sleep or something. But fortunately I didn't have anything in my stomache because my h2o bottle is tiny....
Was home by 8 and skyped with Blake and my sister who was at our house, then really thought about going to bed but powered through and went on a walk/grocery run. Since then I have been seriously chilling...mostly trying to stay warm in bed and trying to find something on youtube worth watching. I did find "Andy University" clips that are shorts with the brother on Weeds (Justin Kirk, I think). pretty funny...but only 12 of them or so and only 2-3 minutes long. I would love to veg and watch a movie but they take way too long to load and my attempts at fooling Hulu are not working.
Speaking of entertaining things though.....I have been obsessing on podcasts since being here. At home I already had 10 or so that I listened to regularly but out of need for entertainment I have expanded my downloading and am such a fan! Totally hooked on "the sound of young America" and "Jodan, Jessee, Go!" and always try out a few new randoms when on. Props to my girls Becca and Dev for giving me my ipod....I never knew how much I would love using it.
Well, I meant to write more. My last dys in Paris were fabulous. On Sunday the roads on either side of the Seine are closed to cars so I followed Mike and Mary (them running, me biking) from their neighborhood all the way to the Tulleries. We dropped the bike and they took the metro home and I spent my last afternoon in Paris strolling the streets, soaking in the sun at the Tilleries, and walking the Seine home...it was wonderful.
I have to go to bed now. Tomorrow I drive into Montpellier to pick Mary up and tour around a bit. Maybe we will go see the flamingos that are supposedly in the wetlands there, although they might be migrating south now....we will see.....xoxo...t
