September 15, 2008

Amtrak, be jealous. We have become even more impressed with the European passenger train system. This is the Hamburg, Germany station, complete with McDonalds and Burger King (yes we confess, we had one!!). Very busy, very efficient, very logical. It has become relatively easy to get used to. Marcia is enjoying the ease of getting off the train.
A young man from Spain asked us, in German, if this was his stop. Does that mean we looked like we knew what we were doing?!?!?
I guess we had him fooled!!!!

This week, we are journeying to Southwestern Holland, where, among other things, we are planning to see the Delta Works (an incredible system of protecting themselves from the sea-- we could learn some lessons from them on this one), Haarlem, Amsterdam, and a complete miniture display of Holland.
We don't know what kind of access we will have to the internet, so don't be disappointed (if you are interested at all) if nothing changes, here, for the next few days.
