Florence and then Meeting Dolores

Since I had planned to meet Dolores in Florence and I had a train ticket, I decided I would just go anyway. Somewhere I had never been before.
I had to make 4 train changes to get to Frankfurt. Each country has a little different way that they communicate times, tracks and destinations, with signage that varies as well. Made it!





Sat with an Indian family in one if the four trains I ride today. They are carrying 17 days worth of food with them, because they are Hindu and must stick to their diets. They shared some of their food. A sweet coconut nut ball. A sweet chapati and some dried Jackfruit. Very interesting different tastes .


When I changed trains in Basel I was going to buy something to eat, but the clerk wouldn't take any euros so when I got on the train a very nice Australian couple gave me a cucumber fresh from a cousin's Italian garden. Much better than a pretzel. I'm feeling very grateful.

Yea! Dolores arrived.
We are staying in a lovely German village on the Rhine. Then on to Saint-Malo.
