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)

The unfittie might not be blogging a whole bunch for the next while. Undertaking a long-delayed train trip across Canada. Fabulous so far. Good food, great scenery, interesting people, and sleeping like the proverbial log. Doesn't get much better than that for an unfittie with a sleep disorder. Thank you, Via Rail.
