ABC Wednesday: U is for Urban

The word "urban" had been playing around in my head, but my friend Wil used it in her introduction and I thought, "Aha, that's the word I've been trying to remember."
If you can tell me any other words I've forgotten, Wil, my life might be a lot less complicated.

M: for Metz and its magnificent "gare"



We've been traveling by train in The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Switzerland, and when we arrived in Metz, a French city not far from the Luxembourg border, we thought it had a rather unusual train station ("gare" in French). A little bit of research (in a book, not on the internet) told us it's because it shows a distinct Germanic influence. Who knew? Learn something new every day, as I always say.   (Richard Schear photo)
