On train bound for Geneva. Euro trains are so civilized - WiFi, power, food & views.
Had a descent sleep last night and feel relatively converted to Europe time. Had some leg recovery time too with 6 hours of napping on the tour buses. Today we ubered to the train station and it’s about a 4 hour ride.
Ah Paris. What a gorgeous city. Only the truly ignorant don’t fall in love with her. The Egypt & Africa connections I sort of knew but didn’t quite get until visiting. And as for those rude parisians, we didn’t encounter a single one. Quite the opposite. Everyone was really nice, except the other tourists. The Chinese tourists were giving me ptsd from my China trips. And there was one asshole Texan that reminded me how embarrassing it is to be American here sometimes.
I’m sad I missed the Dali museum but I didn’t even know it was there until we got there. And I should’ve eaten more croissants, mayonnaise & cheese. I could easily spend another week doing museums - a few days on the louvre alone. But I’m glad to move on. If fate smiles on me, I’d return here in a heartbeat. However my budget is slim and my bucket list time is shortening.
It’s raining lightly now. Thunderstorms ahead. Wheel to the storm & fly.
