While in line to get our reservations to Barcelona from Nice I was informed it would not be possible – well at least for two days. The reason: Strike. I joked with the ticket vendor that the French are always protesting. She knew it was a joke but didn’t want to give me too much of a laugh, maybe so as not to undermine the seriousness of the nation wide strike – as serious as protests can be when they become a way of life. As a political scientist, if I can call myself that, I was both appreciative of being effected by the political stance and annoyed at the prospect of not being able to get to Barcelona. Unexpected, but Latin America to this point wins the transportation world war too.
