Barcelona to Avignon

Doreen and I got on a train this morning at 8:45 (well, we got on the train at 8:30. It left at 8:45) from Barcelona to Montpellier. It was a pretty standard train, not a fast train, but comfortable none the less.

Here is Doreen looking for something in her bags:


The train station was Barcelona Franca - (you can figure out what that means) and it is prettynice, but with no services:


No news stand or Tabac, no place to sell treats, no nothing. But the bathrooms were nice.

We got on the train (Assigned seats. A nice luxury that Doreen took care of while back in Houston. She always takes care of all these sorts of things) and noticed that there were no trays! We were in two forward looking seats (which is nice) but there were no trays of any sort. Now, at 8:45 in the morning that was not such a big deal.


But later on the trip (We arrived in Montpellier at 1:22) we had been hoping for a picnic. Doreen had gone shoping at the big market of La Rambla in Barcelona, and we had some great food to look forward to.




But in the meantime, we enjoyed the view.
