Choo-choo



The weekend brought beautiful weather and we jumped at the chance to tour the surrounding countryside via old-school train. We passed through bucolic scenes of orchards, villages with church spires poking up out of valleys, and cows everywhere. We failed miserably in taking pictures of the scenery, but here are a couple of the train. The sitting compartments and the way they pushed carts with candy and drinks for sale through the train brought to mind Hogwarts Express. Speaking of--Ellie starts her new school tomorrow--we're hoping for an enthusiastic response. Sending love to all.

Looks like a really fun time! I need to spend more time on trains I think-I guess I'll get more of a chance in a couple of months. Hope that school went well for everyone today.
