We left Wed. evening, flying out of Montreal, and arrived in Paris Thurs. morning and made our way to the high speed train terminal. Getting on the TGV was not a problem and we were seated across from a fun group playing cards who helped translate the train announcements. And we needed that, because shortly after we left the train station, we stopped, waited and finally headed back to the station. We were told we could stay on the train. Then we waited and waited and waited. Finally someone in our group decided to try and find out what was going on. We didn’t realize that she had actually gotten off the train, and of course 1-2 minutes after she left, the train pulled out of the station without her. So off we went … with her luggage, but without her! Another of our group missed her train connection in Paris as well, so we had 3 groups instead of 2, none of us arrived at the correct time, someone temporarily miss-placed her purse … But all is well that ends well!

We all got there eventually. We consumed 3 bottles of wine, Brie, foi gras, salad, pate, baguette and chocolates for dinner. And then the next morning, it was coffee and breakfast  on the balcony of the apartment. It’s a beautiful day to be in Provence!
