Europe by Eurail



 Mediterranean Blue.
I made two different trips of Europe by Eurail, and these are some pics from the French leg of those. Except the last pic, which is from Greece. You can actually travel overnight sleeping on the train, to cut hotel costs, bathe up at railway stations, and see a city a day across Europe- many countries are covered by a single pass for unlimited travel for a fixed number of days-I took a 14 day pass. This is a good way to backpack and get more bang for your Euros.

European Odyssey

Mediterranean blues.
Rural France, Pleudiry.
Scary French God/Devil.
Greek God?
They do have forts.
Stranded? No, Anne (below) rescued her.
This was a memorable trip that took us to rural France where a friend, Anne lived. Her mom is an artist, and we were able to see some of her paintings. Rennes, Dinan and a few other spots were visited with Anne. Mont St. Michel too, by the sea. Speaking of seas, the Greek odyssey saw us take a ferry from Brindisi to Patras via Corfu, which I had read about in Gerald Durrell's book My Family and Other Animals- a great book.
The colour of the sea in Greece is a lovely deep blue. Poseidon, Athena and a few other Gods and Goddesses came to life at various spots in Greece. Lively and quarrelsome people, chaotic just like us Indians.
