On Sunday I went on my first trip outside of Paris. Pontoise is about 28 kilometres from the city and was made famous by the painter Camille Pissarro. He lived there for 17 years and painted the town and the countryside. Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh visited the town and painted with him.

... and that I didn't need to go to the other stop because this was where they pick people up. Yeah, I'd kind of figured that one out (I just had to make a fool out of myself and sprint down the street dragging my bag behind me first).
I got to the airport and went inside. We didn't think we'd be able to go to our gate yet because our flight wasn't until morning so we'd decided to meet up near the food court. Rachel had slept in this airport before ...
