A quick look at La Plage (the beach)!



This was really our first cloudy day in Montpellier. We had been up very late the night before - probably around 2 a.m. Vero called and woke us up around 11 and said she'd call back in a half hour to let us know if they were going to the beach. She called back in 5 minutes and said that she and her Mom would be there in 5 minutes to pick us up - yiiiiiiiiiiikkes! We flew to get ready and race down to the car to meet them. We were exhausted, cold and hungry. We huddled as we walked through the little ghost town - waiting for the warm weather to spring back to life again. Here and there were small signs that life was still going on even in the winter - the man in the boat was thrilled to have his picture taken. Seriously - he was smiling and waving. Montpellier is only about a 15 minute drive away from the Mediterranean Sea. I'm sure in the Summer it will be charming, tropical and inviting. That day - not so much!!!
