France has been pummeled this weekend by severe storms that have left many without power and has led the French government to mobilize workers to restore power and clean up the damage done by water.
Thankfully these bad storms did not touch Nantes. Or perhaps they did for a while and I've just become so desensitized by all the daily rain that I didn't really think anything about this weekend's heavy rain. But this morning as I walked to La Poste to mail a letter home, I did begin to notice the rain.
It began slowly. Just a few drops on my new coat - not enough to pull the umbrella from my bag but enough to annoy me. By the time my letter had been sent and I had managed to completely the euro monetary system, the rain had reached the point where an umbrella was no longer an option.
Today also happens to mark the first day of March - the day when my tram pass from last month is no longer valid. I've been wavering between buying the 30 euro tram pass that's good for the entire month and just buying discounted tickets (12 euro for 10) as I need them. I've been trying to save money in every way I can but travel is a difficult thing to foresee.
"If March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb." Or so the saying goes.
I have no time for lions and lambs. I bought the tram pass.
