Jay’s Life

Staysea and I arrived in Montpellier at 1pm local time. We had a bit of a sleep on the flight to Paris, but it was crowded and did not sleep too well. I never realized that the plane flies at 1,000 km/h. I suppose I never gave it that much thought. The food was actually quite good, and the open bar was very nice too!

We met a nice guy in the Paris airport, who was on his way to Montpellier to visit his girlfriend. He is a music teacher from Atlanta and we had a nice chat while we waited a hour for our next leg of the flight.

Flying over France was very interesting. Lots of farms, none of them straight, not like Saskatchewan, more of a random patchwork of land than a perfect quilt of squares. The approach to the Montpellier airport is from the Mediterranean ocean, so you fly out over the water, turn around and then swing back in to land. It feels like you’re going to land on the water. It was a beautiful blue.

We got into the hotel and cleaned up, went for a walk to the market, got some wine, bread and cheese, plus some creme brule. We ate for a little while, passed out, woke up at 8pm, thinking it was am. Very confusing. We had some dinner down stairs in the restaurant and then tried to stay awake till midnight to go back to sleep. Then we where woken up at 5am by room service, delivering food to the wrong room, and coming back 5 minutes later to pick the food back up. Today I’ll be at the office, and Staysea is going to wander around Montpellier, drink some coffee, maybe shop.
