Our Adventure to Albi

Well, we are one step closer to being "home".

Today Brady, Katie, Morgan. Jen, Alicia, and I got a taxi from our hotel at 12:30pm to go to the Toulouse train station.  When we got there, we were confused on how to get a ticket, and basically no one spoke English there.  Lets just say Brady spoke a lot of the "language of the world" as he calls it, in the train station.  We finally got a ticket for Albi only to find out that we had four minutes to get to the train.  We basically raced to the train, with all of our luggage only to find the train leaving.  Therefore, we were back to step number one.  Brady went back to the information desk and got us a new ticket to Albi on a 2:10pm train.  We did make that train!  The ride to Albi was about an hour long.  When we arrived in Albi, we got all of the luggage off of the train and then stood around outside the train station trying to figure out how we were going to get to our hotel.

We apparently looked confused because this very very nice french family came up to us.  The son tried to call for us a taxi, but they were all full.  The father said he could take our luggage in his car and his son could walk us to the hotel.  Brady went with our luggage and us girls walked with the son to our hotel.  We finally arrived at the hotel and Brady and our luggage met us there.  We were soooo thankful that this family helped us.  They were probably the nicest people I have met on this trip.

After getting settled at the hotel, we walked around Albi and got some dinner.  Tomorrow we return home to Ambialet.  We have to get the bus at 2:00pm.  I'm excited to be back "home".

Also, just so you all know from yesterday's post, my family safely made it to the USA.  I'm very thankful that they made it back to America after a bad airplane experience yesterday.  I miss them already!
