Train train go away...

but yet we're back for another day

We are in Lyon, France for a short stop off before we get on an overnight train to Florence

We will probably spend the night walking around florence because it is going to take us 10 hours on a train to get there

Then we get on a train to venice, we will be there for 2 hours (sad i know)

Then we will be on a train headed to belgrade for about 14 hours or more

It will be nice because we will spend some quality time with quality people there (Mina!!!)

The past few days in Bourg en Bresse have been amazing, such nice accomodating people and families we have really felt like we have been at a home away from home

We are however starting to miss hearing people speak English....and a bit of travel fatigue, but we are hanging in there.

We are resting at le biblioteque for about an hour. We were in Lyon for a day before so the past few hours have been familiar...that is a comforting feeling, familiar.

The people I miss: Apt 10 ; The Green Street Gang ; Kula man ; Turnstyle ; family both new and old ; Champaign Laugh Factory People

The things I miss: cereal, performing comedy, my bed, peanut butter, hard cheese, soy milk, dos reales (we are specifically going to come to champaign for this as soon as possible), turkey

Amanda misses: driving and aloe vera.

I know a lot more French than before I came here. Hopefully I will retain the 15 words I picked up.

Say yes to: eclaires, baguettes, and croissants, the chocolate cereal that looks like fritos, french pickles that aren't quite dill and aren't quite sweet gherkins

Say hi to: you.


K-k-k-k-k-kevi (you drop the last letter in every word in France when you speak)

I hope A doesn't need aloe vera for a sunburn....is the weather hot? rainy? was London foggy? hope you are able to sleep on those long train rides...are they double deckers? and sure hope you have time in Venice for a ride on the streets!

if you can't get a quick ride in a gondola, at least make sure you get over to Piazza San Marco and chase the pigeons and eat some gelati!!

hugs from us to you!!
