Dear Carol,

The Keenan Family is home and doing well. We are still getting pictures printed and memorializing our trip to your country. The trip overall went very well. The tour guide did well, the hotel was great and we were very glad after seeing the traffic that we had someone to drive us around.

The only problem we really had was the train ride. I am sure you are aware that the tickets were purchased for the wrong date. The other issue was our lack of information regarding the train station. You should let other travelers know that the station is not traveler friendly. You cannot get dropped off in front of the station so you have to carry all your belonging a significant distance before you get to the station. There were no carts for luggage or workers to help you. Travelers also needed to carry all their belongings up and down stairs to get to the various platforms.

That’s a little problem, of course!

If you ever get the chance to come to America, I hope you will include Maryland in your trip because you have friends here waiting to show you around our town.

Thank you again for all your help,

Mary Keenan
