Day 2 - Beyond all belief, we made it!

"I barely slept on the plane" 

Here's a handy tip for all of y'all who aren't familiar with international traveling (or are familiar with international traveling and choose not to do the following). Sleep is good. Sleep on the long seven hour flight. You arrive in a brand new country in basically the earliest of mornings after a somewhat long and disgruntling flight. Granted, the flight did have an amazing selection of movies and music which kept most people awake for the full seven hours.

So here we are, an awkward bunch of seven American students (Melody and Miquela posing beautifully in picture) riding on a foreign train with several hundred pounds of awkward to carry luggage on our way to a foreign city. Beautiful, beautiful landscape. Sleep was a little more welcoming though.
