Hamburg

Hi all,

I am finally posting an entry right after I write it! We are in Hamburg, overlooking the water from a VERY nice hotel. The city is beautiful; it has more bridges than Amsterdam, and there's water everywhere. There is a lake in the middle of the city, the streets are wide, and there is plenty of fresh air. It's good to know there are cities like this in the world. Yesterday we went to the model train museum (don't worry Dad, I took lots of pictures) which was amazing. We had to wait in line for over an hour, but it was worth it. There were models of various cities and countryside settings, all complete with thousands of tiny little people and amazing details.

Today I get the day off; Bonnie and John took the kids to visit Bonnie's great aunt. It will be nice to have some alone time and explore the city. I am planning on taking a bus tour of the city, and I will be sure to take lots of pictures.

That's all for now, from the land of beer and pretzels!
