Mary's Travels
After a fun New Year's Eve with my sister and my friend, it was time to head to France! I got off to Dallas just fine, but my flight to Paris was delayed (still unsure why). After attempting to meet up with my friend Kristen downtown, I decided I should just stay in the airport. I attended a prayer service which was interesting but nice, and ate at Cereality- a cereal bar that I've wanted to go to for my whole life. It was SO good. I got a s'more combination- coco puffs, Golden Grahams, chocolate chips, and marshmallows. YUM. Ya my time in Dallas wasn't terrible. We finally boarded and unfortunately the plane was a bit more dated than what I was banking on, so I watched one movie and tried to sleep since my devices were all dead. Luckily I was able to find a charging station upon my arrival in Paris. Oh also it was snowing when we landed so that was pretty. Since the flight was delayed so much, I wasn't able to make Mass at Notre Dame which I was really disappointed about. Turns out it was really lucky that I scheduled myself a late train for Annecy- after charging and doing a phone interview with the school, figuring out how to get to Gare de Lyon was very time-consuming. I also hadn't moved in a while and was starting to feel like a permanent turtle with my backpack. I FINALLY got to the train station and I had some time to walk out to the real world and find an ATM. Ya I spent less than 10 minutes above ground/outside... good to be back in Paris! After trying to nap/stay warm in my scarf, my train finally came and about five minutes into the ride I was out. I only slept an hour, but it definitely a solid and much-needed sleep. It's crazy how much more comfortable a train seat is versus an airplane seat. For $8 I got a risotto dinner that had chicken and eggplants and all the good stuff, and it was less calories than my orange juice that morning- pretty dang ok for the TGV bar.
