After resting in Paris for a day, I decided to move on to my next destination, Besançon France. One of my high school friends lives there so it is fitting to pay him a visit. To get to Besançon I took the high speed train, TGV, which is awesome. I sat next to a meteorologist and as always I started a conversation with him which went on for the entire trip, making the trip go by fast. The discussion, in French, centered around weather prediction in France and Europe in general. My technical French language is rough but my general French language is just fine… the TGV trip from Paris to Besançon took two hours and a half, which is fast.. Besançon is near the Suisse border. My friend was waiting for me at the station. We headed to his beautiful home to drop my bags and have some late lunch.. He proudly showed me his beautiful yard full of all sorts of flowers and fruiting trees. I even had my first fresh fig of the year from his garden and some tiny black grapes…
