early may

i moved out of the foyer may 1, and thus started the adventure...

may 2 i went out to lunch with sadie and holly and when i returned to the house i was locked out!! luckily, the city was setting up their big annual festival of percheron horses, so i went and visited the castle with the elementary students! in the afternoon i sat in rosslyn's garden with maria and nicolas. maria and i hustled to the train station, holly missed it. maria's boyfriend was also on his way to paris, but his train broke down. so maria and i found a happy hour to enjoy until they both arrived three hours later. we met up with a gaggle of friends and went out for drinks until i had to catch the bus to the airport.

may 3 i flew to dublin to stay with petr - and his girlfriend marija, their son adam, her sister and her sister's son. we had a fantastic weekend together.

on the morning of the 5th i went to aix!!! it was wonderful. the weather was great (though one day was a bit cloudy), i got to visit the beach one day in la ciotat, i saw my old apartment and bars... it was wonderful!

except that my debit card was stolen the second day and several transactions were made. i had to finish my day at the police station. then on day four my whole wallet was stolen, then my shoe broke, then my phone died when i was calling to cancel the credit card, and finally i went to the wrong station to take my bus.

BUT i am in lyon with my friends now! feeling up for some friendly relaxing... good thing, no other options!!!
