Val is here

Inside Nemours Castle

I found Val! She is ok. Not having a phone and not having wi fi means trusting even when it seems silly to. Last time I checked in with Val was the day of her departure, a day before she would arrive here. I gave her some instructions of how to get from Paris to Nemours and I told her that I would meet her at the train station in Nemours at 4 or 5. I would check twice, giving her either 2 or 3 hours to arrive here from Paris. Turns out the train comes every 20 minutes during rush hour, so I visited the train station every twenty minutes for 4.5 hours waiting for her. I didn't know what had happened to her. On the last train that I was going to visit before walking the 20 minutes to wi fi, I saw her, waiting on the bench. It was unbelievable...and then her story....also unbelievable. She took the metro in rush hour with 2 suitcases, one with a broken wheel. Then just decided it wasn't worth it and got off, and took a taxi to the train station. Then the ladies at the train station put her on the wrong train by not telling her she had to switch trains half way. Val finally figured out that she was on the wrong train and got off...then took a taxi to Nemours, kinda like taking a taxi from Okotoks to Calgary. But alas she arrived. God took care of her!
