Another train day! Last night we had a visit by the landlord who reminded/informed us that at 2 am the clocks would spring forward an hour. We don't really keep track of time apart from the days we have to catch a train. So this was news to us! This morning we had an early train. We woke up at 5 am, which felt like 4 am to us. Don't worry, I had the Bolas to keep me going.
It's always a challenge to find our apartments in a new town with roads we've never seen, and most of the time no map other than iPhone screenshots from the night before. We manage to keep ourselves entertained as we wonder the unfamiliar streets.
Our apartment for the next 4 days is more like a fort. We have two rooms and one loft. Four of us will be sleeping in the master bedroom. It's huge and I think it's Mom's favorite so far.
The kitchen is under the loft, and the only bathroom is in the loft. It was made for small children. Showering will be a challenge for most of us.
As usual we spent our first evening searching for a grocery store. We found a gas station type store with overpriced everything that infuriated Brody. He couldn't believe we were paying 5 dollars for a box of corn flakes. At least that's what he claimed to be upset about. I'm thinking it might have been about the price of nutella. Although we haven't found an acceptable grocery store, we did find out that the clothing stores are only a block away!! No more lazy mornings for me. I have stuff to not buy!
Tomorrow is our last day to use the promotional eurail passes we have, so we are taking a day trip to St. Emellion. On the train ride there, Arden and I are going to think of a question to ask One Direction for a contest they have going on. Any suggestions are welcome!
