I was on a bus or a train rolling through the country side in France. The weather was like the beginning of spring and everything was beautiful. It seemed like we were on a monorail as we were a little bit above the scenery. There were modest houses, a river and beautiful trees. Next thing I know, we are outside and headed into someone's home. I am with my dad and my brother and I am a kid of some age, perhaps 10. I am in awe at the difference in vegetation from where I live, the trees seem so alive and I am touching them. They are wet from rain and dew and I'm trying to express my feelings to those around me. We go into their house - maybe it's a home stay or vacation spot/hostel thing. I forget this part a little bit but when we are leaving, we walk down these stone stairs and there are people standing on them and at the bottom, getting a kind of tour or something and someone asks us to stay. Stay for their wedding. My dad is an opportunist and we decide to stay! We go back into the house and I'm looking in someone else's closet for something to wear. I find a very flowy skirt and airy dress (someone at the tour told us that it's like 15° at night but can get to 35° during the day!). I plan to mail these clothes back once I am home so I can keep the lighter clothes for the whole trip. Dad barges in looking for a suit piece of some kind. There are parts where I am just quietly observing, photos of the family on the wall, looking out the window or looking at the plants. I travelled a lot as a kid and was actually like this, just really absorbing all the different places we went. So then there was the wedding! Renee was there and she was dressed really oddly, but she was confident. I remember little snippets from the wedding but not much. Into the next part, I am in a living room with many people - perhaps it is the next day and we are hungover! I think the Simpsons is on the TV...or something...there is a part where I pause the show and take something out of the tv and then a part where I put it back. My mom is there with rod at some point...hard to remember!! Anyways, that's it! The end.
