Lyon – Montpellier – Barcelona

March 14, 2008 · Posted in Eurail, France, Spain, train travel 

Lyon – Montpellier
A French woman sitting next to me offers to share her celebrity magazines. I attempt to translate some words, but instead we play a game of charades describing the escapades of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and Lindsey Lohan.

Montpellier – Barcelona
In a train compartment that looks like it came from the set of Boogie Nights. All 70s: Earth tones and large modular seats. I expected to see a shag rug.

Just as I think that my last 24 hours on a train is too much, a woman next to me recounts how she spent 50 hours traveling in the back of a vegetable truck in Morocco. I´m reminded that everything is relative.
