On the train Let’s review. I was supposed to give the keys to my apartment in Germany to the person who took me to the train station. I got on the train, put my luggage away and then read the sign that said “car 5”. My ticket is car 4. Also when entering car 5,…

So yesterday at lunch… We’re talking about running… because sometimes I get stuck on this as a topic… and someone suggests I should try running on a trail because there are pretty trails all around.

France Day 5: pretty to look at but it is hot…
It was a market day today. Did some shopping and Robin bought flowers (to plant) from the flower section which was in the square with the clock tower. And we had lunch at a French restaurant. Learned some things: (a) they have “service” at a certain time, not like hours during which you can come…

France Day 4: Cassis
So, no I did not kayak on the ocean like these people (although the guidebook did say kayaking is THE way to see the calanques, but I think it would be awfully hot and tiring, it’s far). We did a boat tour. Apparently there was a mine in calanque number 1 where they got the…
