A Sunday Adventure

Today was pretty interesting. Yesterday I claimed to be 25 in order to get a discount for a train ticket and then heard (in French) what sounded like I'd have to verify my age to get on the train today. With all the what if's going through my head last night, I decided while just 3/4's awake this morning to attempt hitch-hiking. (Sorry to my parents who hate hearing about this kind of risk.) Everything went really well. I had 4 really nice people pick me up and during the last one, we stopped at her house for a major lunch with which they offered me beer. Since it had already been opened and poured in a glass for me, I accepted. (I'm not a beer lover.) They had given me so much food I forgot to think about dinner until after everything closed. Being a Sunday, all the stores are either closed all day or close very early. I ended up finding one tiny hole in the wall that was open and bought rice cakes and "la vache qui rit" or laughing cow cheese. This hostel is really cool, I just hope I have good luck with sleep.
