Train Street!

As the motorcycle tour continued, our jovial guide made a stop and told us we would watch a train go by. We proceeded to sit on stools by the track, order beers, and proceeded to talk and enjoy ourselves. Half way through our beer, we heard a horn and our guide said to turn to the left and turn our knees in. That's it...the only warning, but other people started to jump the fence and the locals cleared out. The train appeared around the bend, came barrelling towards us, and proceeded to blast by us with mere inches to spare. I was terrified and Debbie said I had an iron grip on her shoulder as I tried to melt into the wall. Completely bananas.

Absolutely crazy, but we all survived and celebrated life with dinner afterwards.Read more
