Early Morning at the Madrid Train Station
|
September 23
After a seven-hour car ride from Rochester, two days in New York City, a six-hour and forty-five minute plane ride to Madrid, a seven-hour and three minute train ride to Barcelona (this train was forty-six minutes late due to a police investigation of a man who committed suicide by jumping off of a bridge on to the train), a one-hour and twenty-two minute train ride to Cerbre, France, a two-hour and twenty-eight minute wait at the train station, an eight-hour and fifty-three minute overnight train ride to Ventimigli, Italy, a five-hour and three minute train ride to Genova, a two-hour and forty-seven minute train ride
to Voghera, Italy, a thirty-seven minute wait in Voghera, a one-hour and thirty-nine minute train ride to Piacenza, a forty-eight minute wait in Piacenza, a one-hour and twelve minute train ride to Bologna, and a twenty-two minute ride by cab, I arrived my new home at Via Borghi Mamo 5 in Bologna. That is all that it took to get here. (I had a lot of sitting time so I kept careful notes.)
