So, as I was saying, the French girl I'm travelling with is really getting on my nerves. While it's probably inevitable to not get annoyed by someone after spending an entire week with him/her, I've also made the unfortunate discovery on this trip that my friend is mean. Case in point: a middle aged German man was staying in our hostel for the first half of my stay here, and she just would not stop making fun of him. Every time we went back to the room, she would complain about how he smelled and would request that we go down to the lobby rather than stay in the room with him. He never did anything to us, and it kind of offended me that she was being so cruel to a person she didn't even know.
Other than her company, though, this trip has been pretty great. I would have liked to spend more time at the Festival (she said she wasn't just here for the festival and wanted to see the city too -- except that by the day the festival ended, we had already seen pretty much everything there is to see here). I had to settle on one movie a day, and since Sunday (the last day of the festival), we've basically just been looking for places to eat outside. This is pretty torturous for me, because she only eats muffins. Seriously. I don't understand how she is not vitamin deficient as she eats no fruits or vegetables or meat. And she is quite picky about her muffin/coffee breaks, asking that we find a little café off the main drag - and then appearing weirded out about the back alley-ness of the ones we do find. And then says that maybe we should just go to Starbucks.
Maybe I should be the one that's loosening up, but I will certainly be glad to get back to Lyon and have some good quality alone time.
