flying AIr France somewhere over Budapest

Maybe the fact that I left the office in a hurry, with a lot of projects left hanging incomplete, I was very stressed on the plane and when I arrived. However, first steps in Paris changed all that back to ‘happy mood’.

Beside the slight annoyance that RER ticket vending machines work only with coins or credit cards (and it happily ignored MY card) everything is good. I’m staying at a nice hotel, even though it’s far from the center (I am used to booking hostels right in the middle of the city). The weather is pleasant – cold yet mostly sunny. And hearing French on the streets -  a real pleasure!

And the first smell of a boulangerie assured me I’m back to the city of coffees. Speaking of which, I’m off to find something to snack on until tomorrow’s breakfast.
