Man, what a day! I’m a forester, right? So, I’m used to chillin’ in the woods, surrounded by trees, birds, and all that nature jazz. But today? Today was a whole different ball game. I found myself in Triel-sur-Seine, and lemme tell ya, it was wild.
First off, I got off the train at the Gare de Triel-sur-Seine. The station’s all cute and stuff, but I was already late. Like, seriously late. I had this meeting with some city folks about a new park project. Yeah, a park! In the middle of the city! But I’m ramblin’. So, I’m hustlin’ down Rue de la République, dodging people like I’m in some kinda video game.
Then, bam! I trip over a cobblestone. Classic me, right? I’m sprawled out on the ground, and this old lady just stares at me like I’m a total clown. I laugh it off, but inside, I’m like, “C’mon, lady, help a guy out!”
Finally, I make it to the meeting. It’s in this fancy building on Rue de la Mairie. I walk in, and it’s all suits and ties. I’m in my forest gear, looking like I just rolled outta bed. They start talking about trees, and I’m like, “Yeah, I know trees!” But they’re all about the budget and regulations. Ugh, so boring!
Then, outta nowhere, this dude starts talking about cutting down trees for parking lots. I’m like, “Are you kidding me?!” My blood’s boiling. I mean, come on! We need trees, not more concrete! I’m ready to throw my coffee at him, but I just sit there, fuming.
After the meeting, I needed a breather. So, I stroll down to the Seine. The river’s beautiful, man. I sit on a bench by Quai de la Seine, just watching the water flow. It’s calming. I take a deep breath, and for a sec, I forget about the meeting.
But then, I see this kid throwing rocks into the river. He’s laughing, having the time of his life. I can’t help but smile. Kids, man. They get it. I start thinking about how important it is to keep nature around for them. They need parks, trees, and rivers to play by.
Suddenly, I hear a loud crash. I turn around, and some guy just knocked over a bike rack. He’s cursing up a storm. I’m like, “Dude, chill!” But he’s too busy being mad at the world. I can’t help but roll my eyes.
After that chaos, I decide to grab a bite. I hit up this little café on Rue de la République. The vibe is chill, and the croissants? Oh man, they’re to die for! I order one and a coffee, and I’m just enjoying the moment.
But then, the waiter spills coffee all over me. Like, seriously? I’m covered in hot coffee, and I’m just sitting there, stunned. The waiter’s all apologetic, but I’m just laughing. I mean, what else can you do?
So, I head back to the train station, still smelling like coffee. I’m thinking about the day, the trees, the kids, and the chaos. Triel-sur-Seine is a trip, man. It’s got its ups and downs, but it’s real.
As I sit on the train, I can’t help but smile. Yeah, it was a crazy day, but it reminded me why I love what I do. I’m a forester, and I’m gonna fight for those trees, no matter what. Triel-sur-Seine, you’ve got my heart, even if you made me spill coffee all over myself!
