Almost before the sun comes up, at that. When we went Tuesday to get reservations, the SNCF reservation agent first got us onto a train leaving later in the morning, then found I would have to pay full fare instead of using my pass. Plan B was the 7:45 a.m. from Montparnasse.
Although our hostess in Durfort says the weather is "balmy," the forecast is for more rain and cold weather. But a journey is always exciting.
Late yesterday afternoon a short, sharp thunderstorm and heavy rain washed away the gray air that lay over Paris. Afterwards a small bird I've never seen or heard before filled the courtyard with song.
After much fussing and many interesting learning experiences, I finally learned to save & retrieve pictures on the mini, and even upload to the blog. This tiny but powerful machine continues to amaze me, because I can remember when computers that filled a room could not do half the things it does.
Time to finish packing. We have to have enough time at Gare Montparnasse to get coffee (and chocolate to take to our hostess!)
