I have ridden the Swiss trains. I have ridden several that you mention. Your description brings back wonderful memories. Your paean to the trains also reminds me how we have the Interstate highway system. Sigh. Again, thank you for sharing your adventures.
We often bemoan the train system in the US! Wouldn't it be nice if...? But still, I'm grateful for the trains near to us, even when they are slow or late or imperfectly maintained. Public transportation can be a beautiful thing!
I love this, Ann! The metaphor is perfect for the adventure of life as a family in all its various stages and configurations--esp as adulting children fly and return and set out again! (And, I'm also a crazy fan of train travel...agree those Swiss trains are fantastic!)
