Ouff, what a trip. I finally arrived in Alès. But to start at the beginning. I left munich Saturday, almost missed my train and passed by stuttgart in order to travel to paris. There I had to take the metro, that means stears up and down and up again. And all that with my knee and all my luggage, that weighted about 100 kg. After I arrived at the Gare St. Lazare, I left for the little village triel sur seine. Stairs up and down again… There I relaxed a little bit at jerome´s house. We had a nice talk, visited a friend of him who lives on a floating house on the lake, and prepared great food.
This morning I left paris, being happy, leaving the big city behind me, without being mugged. In the first class I arrived quite comfortable to nimes and from there I took the train to Alès, where I had to carry my luggage for the last time for about 1,5 km. Now I am finally at my new home. I am sitting on the huge terrace and enjoy the cool wind after a very hot day. There are palm trees in the garden and nice flatmates (not in the garden, generally).
Unfortunately, nobody was able to tell me when I will have to go to the university. I´ll just follow the rest tomorrow and hope I´ll find my lectures, and more importantly I hope to find the prof. to tell me that I´ll start only next week.
If it is so, I will be able to discover a little bit the city and take some pictures of my new home. Anyways, its france and I feel very comfortable.
So long. Pictures will follow…
See you soon. here, or wherever…
Greetings
Mathis
