The sobering trainride back to Leiden from the Ladyhawk concert in Utrecht. No fun. Someone nice should be sitting on that seat... Not too tired to doze off. At some point hearing conversations you don´t want to hear. I wish the NS would refurbish these trains. This (lila) has lost it shine, if it ever had it, a long time ago. Unlike the feebly looking other (dubbeldekkers) with the green seats. Green is good :) (As is the orange/darkbrown colorway in the Koplopers.) And although those are quite narrow, in these ones there´s just too much space. You automatically feel like not talking to the person in front of/next to you. And I can never get in to a comfortable position in them. Maybe it´s meant this way...
At least there wasn´t any stormy weather as they had predicted that night.
It rained almost nonstop while we in the interior of Sri Lanka but the day we rode the train from Ella back to Colombo was a nice day and the scenery of interior Sri Lanka is spectacular.
During our two-day whirlwind trip to Oklahoma for my Dad's 70th birthday, we also visited the highly-rated Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole, Oklahoma.

trainride from berlin to grevenbroich (rhineland)
unexpected short stay in station hamm led to formal reduction
A short while back, on the day before Colette's birthday party, Eric, Colette, and I took a 3-hour ride on the Heber Creeper. I had been on it once before when I was in summer camp many, many years ago. I don't remember the train ride so much as the experience of it. I was hungry from the start, and the only thing we had to eat on the train were pickles. I hate pickles, and so I waited. And waited and waited. Until finally we got to our destination. And then I had to wait even longer for us to find a picnic area where lunch could be served. And what was for lunch but a bunch of hotdogs of which I can only eat so many before I start to feel sick. That day wasn't a very good day. But the day Eric, Colette, and I went on the Heber Creeper, it was a great day. Sure, we forgot the tickets on our way out and only remembered when we had gotten too far up Parley's to turn back. Sure, we had to pick up my sister Maura almost immediately after the train ride was over. And, sure, the train moved at a crawling pace. But it was rainy when we started out, and then it was a perfectly (we like the rain and the clouds) cloudy day as we traversed Provo Canyon. This was both Eric's and Colette's first train ride ever, and I marveled at the thought of it as we rode along. Trains are an awesome mode of transportation, and I wish we had the time these days to travel by train instead of by car or by plane. There's just something so aesthetically pleasing about them, but also it's nice to just sit back and relax and take in the scenery around you as you travel through the country.
As I write about this train experience now, I remember the train tracks behind our apartment in Germany. I remember the trains roaring along the train tracks in the dead of the night and the warnings I would receive from my mother to stay away from the train tracks during the day. I remember the blimps and the hot air balloons we would see on a semi-regular basis just drifting over those same train tracks. I miss those days sometimes, those days of complete and absolute innocense when the world was a marvel to wonder over at every instant. Those days were magical no matter the place, no matter the environment, and they're hard to replace. But I hope that I accomplish at least a little bit of that magic for Colette by doing such things as this. I hope that one day she remembers the day we took a neverending train ride through some beautiful canyon and how the day just seemed to transform itself into something else. As if in a dream in some magical place where everything is perfect and there's no thought of anything bad ever coming to pass.
