2019-10-11 The Train

HHR:  Were you ready to leave Budapest?

Larry:  Well, I was a little sad to leave as I knew where I was.

HHR:  What is your next destination?

Larry:  I am going to let Jerry answer that one

Jerry::  Larry, we talked about this.  Krakow.

Larry:  Jerry, is right.  Krakow.  (I like for my entourage to feel useful.   I really knew the answer)

HHR:  Where exactly is Krakow?

Larry:  Romania.  No wait, I know this  – Croatia

Joyce:  I’ll take it.  Poland and Larry, I am not part of your entourage.

HHR:  How did you get there?

Joyce:  Larry is unavailable to answer any more questions right now.  He is fetching his maps from the room.  We took a 8 hour train trip across several countries.

Larry:  Each time you went through a new country the conductors changes and they checked your ticket

HHR:  How was the trip?

Joyce:  Well, it was long.

Debbie:  Our car was pretty quiet until we picked up a group of 15 to 20 Polish teenagers.

Joyce:  The man next to us came alive.  He had been sleeping and sat up like a bolt of lightening had struck him.

Jerry:  He took it upon himself to teach the teenage girls English.

Debbie:  I just want to point out that the man was sitting in the wrong seat and the wrong car.

HHR:  How did he try to teach them English?

Larry:  Through questions.  It was very interactive.

HHR:  Could you give us an example of the questions?

Debbie:  Sure, I can.  Where are you from? How old are you? Where are you going?  Do you know any songs? Do you think I should go to Prague?  Is that a good place to go?  I am 55 do I look that old?  Do I look good?  I just wanted to go to another country today so I took the money that my friend gave me and chose Prague.  I don’t really have a job.  Let’s all sing.  Let’s sing the Polish national anthem. 

HHR:  Did he go to Krakow with you?

Larry:  No, we did some car switching and he got moved to the Prague car where he should have been sitting.

Debbie:  I told you that he was on the incorrect car.

HHR:  Anything else interesting happen?

Joyce:  Well, I did discover that the toilets go straight to the track.

Jerry:  We are thinking that Polish Train system may not be as advanced as Amtrak.

Debbie:  I advised the group to not visit the facilities while stopped at a station.

HHR:  How did your trip end?

Larry:  I was very excited that the train station ended in the largest mall ever.

Joyce:  I told the other 3 to sit at the mall while I went for the keys from the leasing company.

Jerry:  I did sit at the mall just as Joyce suggested.

Larry:  I bought some socks. 

Debbie: Does this mean you left your assigned spot, Larry?

Larry: Well, I left looking for you and found some socks.

Debbie:  I got lost.  I asked 61 people where Zara Home is located.  They didn’t know.  I walked around and around staying away from McDonalds which was in the wrong direction.  I was so nervous that Joyce would catch me but yet lost.  I managed to slide in under the line right before Joyce returned but was sweating buckets.  Why are we talking about this?  Why did you bring up the socks?

Joyce: The good news is that everyone made it to the flat that night. I will be keeping my eye on Debbie next time we go into a mall.
