Day 42: sitting on the train

I'm sitting on the train watching the beautiful French countryside drift past. It's a gorgeous sunny day and in thankful its early afternoon and daylight so I can actually see the scenery. It's not often we travel in the daylight.  This morning was gorgeous weather too and Montpellier is a gorgeous little town. It is 2 hours from Lyon in the south of France. It is also a university town with a large medical and commerce school so quite a young hip crowd and lots of trendy alley way bars and cafes. We were able to walk the city centre in about an hour so it's quite small but lovely. We stumbled upon a viewpoint where you could see the sea in the distance and the city and countryside too. However being extremely windy up there we couldn't admire for too long. We strolled the shops of course and then we found... Frog's legs! They are delicious- a bit of mix between chicken and fish and they had a lovely garlic butter sauce.  And I also purchased a dress for Fe's wedding. I wasn't even looking for a dress and I can't really fit anything else in my back pack but we saw it from outside and I tried it on and it's from France, 100% silk, on sale, it has ruffle and it has pink leopard print. It must be sounding pretty hideous at the moment but the girls let me buy it so it mustn't be too bad...
