last postcard from france

Here I am in Charles De Gaulle airport on my way home. Left Montpellier last night and spent the night here in the airport observing homeless people who seem to live here. Paid 9 euro to have wifi for 24 hours which has been super nice to help the time go by. At one point a homeless guy set up his whole kitchen on the little desk next to me and started cooking on a hot pot or something...very strange.
I am feeling quite sleep deprived....on about hour 26 right now...but still feeling good. My last days in Ganges were wonderful. Rebecca came down from London on Friday. We went right away to the beach and a crazy little town called Grand Motte where all the buildings are built in a very strange Jetons/Miami style......lots of glammy boats. I am sure the town is hopping in the summer.
That night met Che and a work friend of his in town, drink on the square and then dinner at a lovely little place, then more drinks (of course). Saturday we went to St. Guillem Le Desert, a beautiful little town not far from Ganges. We hiked up to the ridge above it where there are ruins of an old castle. We were the only ones in it....beautiful view. Home, and a lovely dinner, many bottles of wine and a scrabble game that I didn't fare so well in (wine's fault)....to bed at 4 then sleep till noon. A wonderful Sunday....french toast and mimosas, then a long, lazy walk from the house.
Monday Rebecca and I went into work with Che then took the tram into town for a bit of shopping and a beautiful lunch sitting outside in the sun. Took Rebecca to the airport then back to the beaches till it was time to get Che and a ride to the airport....such a beautiful end to my trip.
Thank you France....i'll b back.....bisous.
