some of my thoughts and notes

Montpellier

The difference between driving through snowy mountains two days ago and being in Montpellier now is just mind-blowing.

Here they have palm-trees in the streets and it already smells like spring.

I could imagine spending my winters here, no need to look any further south.

If palm-trees can survive the winter here, I can probably as well.

Edit:
Inside the city I met a group of protesters and joined them for a while because I liked their vibes.

It smelled like cannabis in the crowd and generally in many places around the city.

I met some people in the streets who I just felt like smiling towards, and almost all of them smiled back.

I loved that feeling. I also loved walking into a super nice bakery that played nice music.

And my achievement of the day was finding a miniature version of my car, even in the same color and with the same chrome bumpers, and still not buying it. I could have, but why?

Once the sun disappeared behind a layer of clouds I was more than glad that I brought my jacket with me and I was looking forward to getting back into my warm sleeping bag.
