June 20th morning.

June 20th morning.

Now it’s June 20th, the good nights sleep didn’t happen because all night we kept thinking oh no we over slept and missed out train. We’re now on the train to Magny Cours and I’m being played footsies by an annoying French Lady who is sitting across from me. I think in general I’m really annoyed by France right now, or at least French people. They really seem to suck. Lol. Yeah I realize it’s a bit harsh to say that but you haven’t had the morning I’ve had, and it’s only 9:27am. Still a long day ahead of us, but thankfully after the race this weekend (which shouldn’t require too much interaction with the French since our tour guide is an American man from Florida) we are DONE with France for the most part other then coming back through to catch our train to London.

So far this morning I have had to deal with really apathetic train company workers who realize you don’t speak French and immediately write you off as unworthy of their time, even if you are nice to them and smile and attempt to understand what they are saying! We made it through that situation, validated our tickets for today, and then I got in another line to try and sort out our ticket situation while in Germany and from the way back from Germany (so I could book our ticket to London since time wise everything “builds” on each other); the person behind the counter there didn’t even know that Frankfurt was in Germany…. So... yeah you can imagine that that did not work. I’ll just have to resolve it at another point.

Otherwise, now we’re on the train, and the lady sitting across from me also must be having a bad day because she didn’t get on the train till about a minute before it left, Aaron and I got on about half an hour before it left; so of course there was no room for her luggage, and she had to squeeze past the aisle seat for the window seat and so after banging around luggage and such she’s finally stopped moving and trying to invade my leg space. Also the person across from us has their ipod going louder then I would listen to music alone in my car so the whole train seems to be able to hear her music, and it’s really not that good that I would want to hear it.

Did I mention I am so glad we’re almost done with the French part of our trip?

Really looking forward to the grand prix this weekend, interacting with some American people, even though most of the time I don’t think they are any better then the French people here who seem to be lazy and rude and just plain unhelpful, I assume the people on our tour will be nice, fun, share a common interest and above all else speak English!!!
