Today was not particularly exciting. I spent the morning teaching, and the afternoon and evening cleaning, eating, and preparing for my trip to Metz tomorrow. I learned from my trip to Trier not to expect the city to be as well signed as Luxembourg City is, at least as far as finding the train station goes. As I was preparing, I noticed that Google maps think that the French suddenly lost all creativity and named every road with the same name (you’ll need to click on the image):

Bing maps does a better job (I assume):

The last place to visit on my itinerary is the Marché Couvert de Metz  (The Covered Market of Metz), which reminds me of Findlay Market in Cincinnati. The trip takes nearly an hour and half. The market opens at 7h and stays open until 19h but every thing I’ve read recommends getting there before 13h. So…I suspect that a lot of coffee and a nap will also be on tomorrow’s agenda.
