Lines: 18 I much prefer trains over driving in Europe, for a couple of reasons. First, I like European lagers; if I'm not driving, I don't have to worry about holding back. There are just too many varieties to try! Mainly, though, I like to check things out. I go to Europe to see things, and the best way to do that is to walk around and get detailed looks at whatever shows up. In a car you have to drive and can't look around (or else have to get off the freeway and find a parking spot), in addition to having to simultaneously figure out road signs in a language you may not speak. Train travel in Europe, as probably many know, is quite different from the US. Being the primary mode of transportation there, it is fast and efficient. And if you want scenery, just sit by a window and look. -- Julian "a tribble took it" Gomez The Ohio State University {ucbvax,decvax}!cbosg!osu-eddie!julian
