Ahoy,
By some function of a miracle we arrived in Rome the night of the 18th. Half a day later than planned, but safely and securely nonetheless. Our host in Lyon knew of this carpool site in Europe. There's one in the states too. He called this one fellow that was out of seats, but forwarded us to another group. A mother and her daughter. So the night before our flight, we got an email it was cancelled. By now it was almost midnight, but our host texted the mother and daughter and they called back. So the next day we got in a car with complete strangers who didn't really speak English, and we don't really speak French and we all drove to Rome.
They were incredibly nice and friendly, contrary to our perception of the French. A got to drive for a bit in Italy. The mountains in the south of France were incredible, so gorgeous. And even more so because it was snow covered.
roamingly frazzled,
jt
