FREEDOM FOR THE TRAVELLERS! I've been going back and forth in Paris and Lyon for the past few days, and it's been horrible! I mean, I love travelling, but it's really awful to be moving around loaded down with luggage, in the manner of a pack mule. Wouldn't it be great if you could just step into the train (or plane) and go anywhere you need to go? But instead of that, one has to carry tons of stuff around, in streets, trains, subways, more trains, and more streets 'til one finally gets to the place, and by then, one hardly has enough energy left to drag oneself to the nearest bed... How sad! And however little you try to take along, it's always enough to make a bundle : nightgown, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, soap, towel, fresh clothes and underwear, a book to read, purse, ID and train tickets, pen and paper, BAM, you're already way past the small back pack you intended to fit everything into...
Blessed be the person who finds out how to avoid the luggage hassle, and thereby brings freedom to the travelers!
Read last week: Langue de vipère, French translation of a very cheesy teen romance by Katherine Applegate, in manner of Dawson's creek (yeah, that lame and cheesy!)... Sorry, but Jane Austen really isn't that exciting - it's hard to stick to it without some kind of distraction between chapters!
