Day 34
I'm on my way (not home, home is Randolph and my family), back to Ostrava. I had a nice time. I enjoy visiting with people in the hostels. Especially in Bayeaux. I met the nicest people. I believe I have already written about the husband and wife which first appeared at the tour office. They repeatedly showed up during the day. I also met a guy from Canada. I did not met him in the hostel, but in the town of Caen. He was a nice guy and someone nice to talk to and help me get around the town of Caen. Just someone to talk to.
When I also met two veterans in the Dwight D. Eisenhower museum, again in Bayeaux. Back in the hostel I met one woman from Key West, Florida. She was not a knockout, but again someone to share the experience of Normandy. We discussed history and the Normandy landings. I was surprised to find out how much she did not know about the largest invasion in history. But we had a nice discussion about home, family, what to see and do in town. I will never see her again after today, any of them in fact, but I at least knew them today.
In my last day in Paris I talked with an older lady who (from what I gathered from my limited knowledge of French) her daughter is going to Berkly in California. Again I told her that i was from Omaha, Nebraska. We smiled and laughed at our conversation. I felt good to talk to her.
Om my train from Caen to Paris, I had a similar conversation with a mother and daughter who live in the Riviera. We exchanged phone numbers and I was invited to stay with them for FREE! Mental note: When a hot 24 year old woman asks you to stay with her in the French Riviera, GO FOR IT!.
In my last day I went to Versailles with Lauree. That Palace is enormous. The magnitude of the rooms. The massive rooms. Every ceiling is painted with a scene from mythology or war. Mirrors were everywhere. I was told that most of the furniture was stolen through the years. They have only recovered 5% of the furniture. As I can tell, most of the rooms were full.
I must say it was hard to leave Lauree in Paris. it felt so good to be with someone to share an experience with someone. You know a common thread to share.
Now I roll back to Prague in hopes of recovering $150 from KLM. Good luck!
I miss Nicole and Danna. I can't believe how much I miss them today.
