Trains
On Friday I took the train from Salzburg to Frankfort. I really love taking the train in Europe. It s a great way to see everything and it is very relaxing. The train stations are so awesome and huge as well. They are all old buildings with great architecture. It is good that all of them did not get destroyed in WWII. I think there is something more romantic at a train station than an airport. Recently I was in the Munich train station and it is massive. It is right up there with the Paris train station. The first thing that is great about train stations are that they are usually in the center of the city so that is nice and easy to get to and get around. The other thing is that there is so much hustle and bustle going on. The trains are very fast; they reach a top speed of about 220 kmh (135+ MPH). The train I was on was 17 minutes late. I thought German trains were not late. Oh well. I really wish that America would do more trains so I could spend less time in airports and on airplanes and more time on crossing the country on a train. I think after riding the trains in India I might have a different opinion. We shall see. More to come.
