15:34 hour train

I like riding trains because you get to see countryside you may never see any other way... this one was a long one though (from copenhagen to amsterdam) . the amazing thing to me was that it was exactly on time... 15+ hour train arrives 2 countries over in exact time. Met up with my aunt today and we saw anne frank's house, the van gogh museum and another museum. Yesterday i took a train over to Malmo, Sweeden for a little day trip from Copenhagen... cool place-- saw and old castle, went in an old submarine and saw some other cool exhibits. The day before, thursday i think (can't remember if i have written about this yet), i rented a bicycle and rode around Copenhagen. very cool. saw some art exhibits, the mermaid statue, some wind turbines from afar and just rode around a lot... and got lost some... ive gotten to be pretty good at following a map walking around citites, but doing it on a bike is much, much more difficult... but that is part of the fun... i wasnt really lost because i wasn't going anyplace in particular most of the time. thats it for now...

I like the concept that you are not really lost if you are not trying to get to a specific destination.

All the art galleries sound wonderful.

When Sean came home a few weeks ago, both his flight here and back to NYC were late (took him over 6 hours to get from Indy to Queens). The US could learn alot from European transportation time tables.

I have some pretty tulips in my yard - would like to see if the ones in Holland compare!!
