A train trip in France

Katherine of the K's Café blog shares some observations from a trip with her family on the Train Grande Vitesse (high speed train) in France. For example:

10:20am: There is a lightly bearded man on the train with his two young children. He's in faded jeans and a white T-shirt, and looks confident and strong, while self-controlled. He's wearing one earring, two rings, two bracelets and a watch. It is a blessing to see him gently take his son on his knee, and then tenderly brush his daughter's hair and fasten it with a scrunchy, making a neat pony tail for her. Later his son curled up on his lap to snooze. It is a quiet but communicative family, loving, patient and disciplined. People's actions say a lot more than their clothing and accessories.


Yay, daddies.
