Gavin's adventure

Gavin loves trains and pretty much every other form of transportation known to man! We've been blessed to have windows in our apartment where Gavin can stand and watch the trains go by (there are train tracks across the street from us). We often cross the street and watch the trains come and go from the station on our block. Lena, our babysitter, asked if she could take Gavin on an adventure today while we were studying- they got on a tram (trolley) near our house and rode it several blocks to the nearest METRO stop- then they rode the METRO several stops to another train station- then got on the train and rode it one stop to the station near our home. All for less than a dollar!!!!! Public transport here is one of the most affordable things in this country! And the conductor on the train let Gavin and Lena ride for free since they were only going one stop! Gavin couldn't have had more fun! All day he's been going on and on about the green train he and Lena rode! So, sure enough, one of these wintery days they will make another trip around the city :)
