Bonnie Arrives!

My trip to Aachen was about as uneventful as a transatlantic flight can be. Cornelia, one of the yarn shop owners, was kind enough to drive me to the airport with time to spare, my flight was on time, there was enough food, water and stuff to do. There was a small delay in Amsterdam, the plane I was supposed to get on had a mechanical problem and we had to wait for a new plane to be ready. Because I didn't have to catch another plane, this delay was not a problem for me.
I always love looking out the window of planes - no matter how many times I've flown, I still think it is cool I managed to look out just in time to see this:


When I arrived in Frankfurt, I met up with Vladimyr right away. We bought our train tickets and then had a quick snack before catching the train. We took a train to Koeln (Cologne), which was a very nice train, then we changed train to get to Aachen. This train was not quite as nice (kind of the difference between taking a coach bus and a city bus). This train had a weird door that would open and close by itself but would be hard to open and then shut on people as they tried to go through. There were a few drunk transient type people and a random dog. It was. . interesting.

It was then just a quick walk from the train station to Vladimyr's apartment. We had a nice dinner of chicken and fries from a shop near by.
