As we lived in a student residence at the end of your stay there is an inspection for the rooms; at 10 am the receptionist came up for room inspection.
Everything was in order and clean, we got our deposit back, woohoo!
Our friend Claudine came to pick us up from the residence. We haven’t seen Claudine in a long time, her father is very sick and she is being very busy taking care of him and family. It is an extremely difficult situation for her. She would have like to meet us more often during our stay but that was impossible; likewise we would have loved to see her and her daughter Aurore more often. We met Claudine and her daughter at French American centre very soon after we arrived in Montpellier.
Claudine invited us for lunch in her place; first we stopped at the bakery to pick up some quiche, octopus pie, zucchini pastry, and sweets: mille feuille, chocolate éclair, strawberry tart, baba du rum.
We had a wonderful lunch, the food was yummy, we chatted and chatted, time goes by toooo fast, it is so good to see Claudine and have a chance to say good bye.
Last moment chat in Claudine’s garden. I love the flowers and the olive tree.
She drove us to la gare; this is out TGV, the fast train to Paris!!! Our luggage are very heavy…ugh….we still have to carry those from gare de Lyon to our apartment in Paris.
Leaving Montpellier in the train, I have mix feelings; I am sad that I have to leave here, I had a great time, met wonderful people and I made friends; but I am also ready to leave, looking forward to spend time in Paris and new places…..
I am definitely a wimp when it comes to say good bye, Mark and I just sitting in the train looking a the French country side while the tgv speeds up.
