The restful, decompress, get away 4 months that was supposed to be my second 4 in France of my 4-4-4 plan, hasn't really materialized until just this week. I'm not sitting around or anything, but ongoing problems from the states just keep finding me here. To the point that I almost decided to cancel my plans for the Paris trip.
Kat convinced me otherwise. In the midst of being totally stressed out with tax, parent and apartment problems, Kat said: "Just go make your plans for Paris." And, I did. I'm so excited, and looking forward to a whole day in Paris on my own, just for me. I want to wander (mostly on foot) and do everything I love. I have no scheudle or plan. I've decided that even if it rains, I'll be fine. There's a reason for it all and I plan to enjoy my day in Paris however it comes to me.
I'll be catching the midnight train out of Cahors on the 12th of August-sleep in a first class couchette-arrive in Paris at 7am on the morning of the 13th. The night of the 13th I'll catch the midnight train to Cahors-sleep in a first class couchette-arrive Cahors about 5am and will catch the 6:15am bus home to Cadrieu. By booking more than a month in advance-my round trip first class ticket was 120 euros.
You might have some fun imagining with me what that day in between will hold. It's my 60th Birthday Present to me! Of course, you'll hear about it here upon my return. A day in Paris...hmmm, I bet there's enough material for blog posts for the rest of my time here in Cadrieu and into St. Louis!
And, thank you for your gentle urging in the midst of my hysteria. I'm glad too and am really looking forward to it. Love, Moi
