Pain, and not the baguette type

So i am in nancy...unfortunately for an extra day because i'm a bit sick (to Grandma, who i know reads this as regularly as the NYTimes, don't worry!!! ive drank lots of tea and soup) and decided a day of rest would help. i am feeling better today and hopefully will be back on track on a train (pun totally not intended...the french train culture has penetrated the pun part of my brain) early tomorrow morning to Metz. Nancy is a surprisingely large city with really wonderful restaurants and (to the joy of my nerdyness) home to the Hemingway cafe. I'm not sure if Hemingway would have enjoyed the enormous flat screen TVs playing loud popular music videos while he was penning his masterpieces. Just imagine how The Sun Also Rises would have turned out if it was written to the tunes of EuroPop. I, for one, don't like to imagine things like this.
