Auf weidersehen!

I´m writing this early because I am not sure if I will get a chance later. Basicall my day consists of traveling on trains... for HOURS... oh well. I have to get down to Spain somehow. I was able to exchange my train ticket for an earlier ticket to Paris, so that I have more time to catch my overnight train to Madrid, which was a concern of mine earlier. So I leave here at about noon and arrive in Paris at 5, but I have a transfer and about a 45 minute "layover" somewhere along the way. Then I board a train to Madrid around 8 pm, to arrive at 9 am tomorrow morning. Then, I will meet my ESTO (Espanol in Toledo... clever.) group at the airport on Sunday morning, and we will take a bus down to Toledo together! Let the learning begin :) Best wishes as I leave the land of beer steins and cuckoo clocks and weiner schnitzel!

another big storm here in the land of flat water; 120,000 people without electricity in Omaha and trees down everywhere, all across town; we were fortunate in that the only damage was to the trampoline; terribly, two 18 year old kids died in Council Bluffs when atree fell on their car; 80+ MPH winds. yuk. may want to go to www.kfab.com to see more. Kate is staying here as she does not have power; Maureen is headed to MIlwaukee and I need to head to bed. Be safe sweetie and know that I love you, dad
