After we left Fussen, Germany we
traveled to Munich by train. On the train ride I played my kindle.
Once in Munich we put our bags in lockers then walked around in the
town square. In the corner of the town square was a really good band
playing exciting classical music. In the four person band there was
a: bass cello, a cello, a violin, and an accordion. They were really
good so we tossed some coins in their case. After a while of
listening we went to a big market place were we got some fruit from
the fruit stand.
Once we ate our fruit we headed back
to the train station to catch our night train to Florence Italy. We
got some hamburgers from Burger king. After we ate we went in the
waiting room were a drunk guy came and talked to us. These are the
things he said: “Where are your other wives? In the freezer”
another thing he said was: “I love English I don't hear it I sense
it” The last thing he said was: “See you later alligator! What's
the correct response?” After we left the waiting we started
laughing at what he had said.
Once it was time to get on the train we
got our bags from the lockers and then had a snack. The train was a
sleeping car and we did not have all 6 beds in the compartment so my
dad had to sit on a different train. I woke up a lot in the night and
looked out the window. After we got to Florence we walked around for
a while then found a church to go to. After church we saw the statue
of David and had some really good Italian pasta. Once we were done
eating we went back to the train station and got on another train to
Cinque Terre. On the train ride there I saw The Leaning Tower of
Pisa. It was really cool!
After arriving in Cinque Terre we took
a bus to a near by town. In the end of those two days of traveling it
ended up being about 18 hours of travel.

Reacting to a drunk? I guess you just be polite, and kind, but also be very careful. I'm sure your parents have counseled you on this--but be aware of where his hands are (looking for your money), so don't let him stand that close to you.
ReplyDeleteLoved your description of the area. Grandpa Hull
What a long train ride! Exciting that you passed by and saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa. GGiles
ReplyDeleteJoe this is Tyler G. My Dad went on his mission to Italy. It took me a while to find this site. Did you see the Colloseum? Joe, since Mrs. Leinwebers class this year is gonna learn about World War 2, when you get into Poland, please visit Auschwitz-II concentration camp, and take lots of pictures. Well, as they say in Italy, "Addio, amico."
ReplyDeleteAnd Joe, go to Paris and invite her over there. If you did, it would be romantic. ;)
DeleteI have already been to Auschwitz and I have not seen the Colloseum.
