A brief layover

---

We left Paris super early in the morning, and headed for our 7 hour stoppover in Montpellier in the south of France. We took the TGV, which is very nice, and very very fast. When we were stopped at a station along the way, another TGV rocketed by. I'm pretty sure it took less than 2 seconds to pass us.

Montpellier is a neat town. There's lot's of things going on in the streets. There was a market selling all kinds of stuff, a beach volleyball tournament, what I think was a breakdancing tournament, or possibly a yard-stomping contest.... and a bunch of street performers.

We grabbed lunch at a creperie recommended by Neil's guidebook. It was delicious!

Mostly we just hung out in parks. We were pretty burnt out from our four day bonanza in Paris. I successfully sewed my Canadian flag onto my pack... but it's a bit crooked.... and a bit dirty... and a bit on fire. Sorry Canada.

I think the highlight of the day was when Amy mistook a duck's butt for it's head.

And she has a Science degree.

We're still making fun of her.

We bought a picnic dinner from the market, and then boarded the train for Barcelona. Bring on the beach!
