Day 30: Montpellier, France

Today we took another train from Paris to the much smaller city of Montpellier in the south of France. 
The train ride went well except for the fact that some of us were in a different carriage from the rest of the group (including our director) and we accidentally almost got off at the wrong stop. We had all of our luggage in the way as well so people that actually had to get off had to climb over it and around it. We all felt awful. Other than that though we were fine and the train ride went well. We successfully got all of our luggage and ourselves off in the 3 minutes we had at our stop, something I know we couldn't have done at the beginning of this trip. 
Once we arrived in Montpellier we got checked into our hotel, took showers, and then went into the main town for dinner.  Our showers only had cold water when we first got here because there was someone working on the water and so the hot water was turned off. Luckily I asked about it so I was able to inform everyone and tell them to wait to take a shower. Unfortunately a few girls didn't get my message in time and ended up taking really cold showers. 
Montpellier is actually really cute and another girl and I found a cute cafe to have some salads and then we went to a Godiva chocolate store to get dessert. We got these really good chocolate drinks that were cold and delicious. It probably wasn't good for my throat (I'm getting a cold), but it was good for my taste buds! I also picked up some chocolate for the bus ride to Barcelona tomorrow and the flight to Boston on Monday. 
We did also wander around a little bit and saw some cute little shops and buildings and statues. 


Now I am back in the hotel getting ready for bed, hopefully my cold goes away before Barcelona! (We are heading there tomorrow).
