Marc and I spent the weekend in the countryside. We didn't feel like driving, so we took the train and it was great! We left home early, and we had a nice breakfast at the train station. Our train arrived on time, and we found our seats easily. It was my first time in first class, and I really enjoyed the extra space! The journey was shorter than by car and we weren't tired upon arrival. What a wonderful experience!

Clever stuff happening!
