Catching the train turned out to be quite and adventure. This being
Ascension weekend all of France is on the move. To make things worse,
Maggie Salyers came to the train station only to realize that her passport and
papers we still back at the hotel. As you can imagine, this caused a bit
of consternation. We gave Maggie our coordinates in Les Sables and sent
her off to get her papers. We got on the TGV and set off to our
destination. Here we're on the regional train from Nantes to Les Sables
and since there's no room for us to sit we've lined up in the corridor as we
speed down the tracks to the coast of Vendée.
