Anthony's Train Ride Adventure

The floods in Germany this year can be seen on this train ride from Berlin to Düsseldorf.  Seeing the floods' effects in person is completely different from seeing the footage on the news.  Villages are flooded, trees have water up to their leaves, and crops have been rendered inaccessible to farmers.  The effects of the floods can also be seen inside our train.  There are a lack of trains due to the flooding and subsequent rerouting.  The cabins are filled to the brim with people.  There are only seats for the lucky who have reserved them.  People are crowding the food areas and hallways, squeezing into any available space.  Here are pictures of the group enjoying our trip!!
