TGV to the South

















We took a TGV to Lourdes located in the south of France. The ride was five hours too long; I wanted to be there already! A family friend, Michel invited us over to stay in his house in the mountains of Pyrénées. The mountain borders France and Spain and it was very tempting to hope on another train to go to Barcelona! In the map: pink pin is Paris, purple pin is Lourdes and yellow pin is where I stayed.
To the right is a picture of a cab that had a glass roof! There are so many different taxis is Paris. We had one with three separate seats in the back and a new Mercedes with nice black leather seats. The driver wore a black trench coat (he looked like a spy and more stylish than me) and played songs like End of The Road (Boyz II Men) on our way to the airport.
