Not the most picturesque picture but it's very representative of our day. We knew that it would be a long one - about a 14-hour train ride from Budapest to Sarajevo. What we didn't know was the dining car would de-coupled a quarter of the way through the trip leaving us with no access to food. We didn't anticipate that the A/C on the train would be essentially ineffective in the 90+ degree termperatures. And, of course, we couldn't have known that the train would be completely off schedule turning a 14-hour ride into 16 long hours. So, in the picture, we have a group of hot, tired, grumpy people stranded at a train station seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It was easily the least enjoyable day of our trip. However, I did meet a very nice French-Canadian woman who is the on-air tennis correspondant for the Quebec version of ESPN. We ended up running into her and her boyfriend a couple other times on the trip.
