Today is my last day in Montelimar. My mind is always occupied in these last days, planning and organising my time and belongings. As such, today’s post is a little short. I spent the morning packing up, and although I had a lovely time here, I didn’t feel sad about it. The first few days that I stayed here, it was raining and I was spending a lot of time inside, resting and reflecting. These last few days, I have been lucky enough to walk around as the morning sun kisses the streets. The parks, the cafes, the buildings all look different in this light. I have discovered new places where I can sip coffee, write and people watch all within my last few days. Even though I don’t feel sad, the town had started to grow on me.
But this is how it is sometimes. There are always some locations in my travels where I’m very active, and some where I rest. This part of France, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, seems to be where I like to rest. Soon I will move from a small touristic town to a very small village perched near the top of a mountain. It’s almost as if I am gradually slowing down, getting ready to rest for a time before plunging myself back into the chaos of the exact opposite – Tokyo and Osaka. Big, busy cities.
I am afraid that the next two weeks may not be that interesting, I worry if will I find something to write about each day. But I will be staying with the friends I made in Ardeche, I have talked about them in a previous post. I am sure that I will not only be resting, but I will be learning a lot about life. And hopefully I will also have a lot to share.
