Trains, Planes and Automobiles
December 20, 2008 by Stephen Day.
Well, I am now out of Paris. I am on the train from Paris to Amsterdam, almost to my destination. I will be in Amsterdam for less than 24 hours and will then fly home to the United States. I am eager to see yet another European country and city and hope to be able to see Anne Frank’s home.
I am travelling by train. This is the fourth train trip I have been on in a week. It has been a very busy week, but enjoyable. In Paris, I was able to go up the Eiffel Tower, visit the palace of Versailles, toured the city of Paris, cruised down the River Seine, quickly visited Notre Dame and the Louvre. Paris was nice. It was a good bit warmer than London and sunnier, which made it a bit more pleasant.
I am very eager to get home and share my Tanzanian experiences with my friends and supporters. Also, I have some work to do… have to prepare a presentation for my visits, prepare for next semester’s courses, finish grading a few papers from last semester and a few other things. Well, by for now!
Right now I am quickly approaching Rotterdam .

London’s Gone!
December 20, 2008 by Stephen Day.
Well, London is not really gone… it is just that I have left it. I had a wonderful and brief visit. I went touring for two and a half days and saw many interesting sights. I went first to the London Eye, which is a huge Ferris-wheel like thing and saw lots of London. Then I went to a famous wax museum. Later I got to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, Parliament, a cruise down the Thames, the Tower of London, Bath, Windsor and Stonehenge. It was quite a busy, but good couple of days. I also have been enjoying a real winter after spending 14 months in sub-Saharan Africa. It is quite a nice change. I love the cold!!!!
Right now I am on the train from London to Paris and we have just come out of the Chunnel in France. We should arrive in Paris within about an hour or so. We will be here for two full days (after today) and then we will go to Amsterdam. I will be in Amsterdam for about 15 hours before flying home but my mother, because of some confusion in our plans, will be there an extra 24 hours. I look forward to being back in the US after so long away.
