"i repeatedly saw one and the same dream: i would arrive in Vienna at long last. i would feel really happy, for i was returning to my serene childhood." Alfred Schnittke

trains, a few planes, and no automobiles...
we turned off all the lights so we could see the snow outside... then we invited lots of other people to see!
an overnight train to italy... playing spades.
one of the things thats amazing about europe is the transportation. from the schloss i can get to downtown vienna in twenty minutes. from downtown i can get to the train station in less than ten. and from the train station i can go anywhere in europe on the eurail! amazing!
i love taking the train. it reminds me of harry potter. also i love the train because you can move around unlike a plane but you dont have to drive like a car. and its different... i ride the train from seattle to portland to go to school but its not quite the same- i dont need my passport for one! and there arent cute compartments.
i get teased because i enjoy the train almost as much as the cities were going to see. but i dont mind. cause it really is cool.
"The only way of catching a train I ever discovered is to miss the train before."
