Too bad I'm leaving France today! It snowed almost a meter and after waiting for the bus for a bit, I realized that the buses weren't even running. Another I LOVE public transportation moment! After contemplating my situation, but not long enough to freak out and call home, a car pulled up offering a ride. Thinking that they definitely weren't the type to offer candy to children, I eagerly jumped in. As it turned out, the couple were from Jersey, England and were going all the way to Geneva; taking 4 hours out of my journey! Along the way, I picked up all sorts of tidbits from the fact that the Savoie Valley was Italian until the 1880's, to how the UK is in the middle of the metric and imperial system (your weight in kilos, height in feet, measure food in grams, but milk in gallons, MPG but buy gas in liters). After driving through beautiful Annecy on the way back, I don't think I would mind if I came back to Maribel very soon!
