Car, plane, and now train?

Ok, remember the 200 mile drive I had ahead of me for a show, well forget it! The crew put me on a super train! The drive would have been about 3.5 hours and this train got me 200 meters from the hotel in 1.5 hours. It was very fast! I went from Madrid, Spain to Saragoza, Spain on it.


I tried several times to take a picture of the information screen, it is reading 289KM/hour here at the moment and sometimes it got above 300 KM/hour. I really did not feel like we were going so fast!Took this picture just to show that I am not "pinned" back to the seat with all the G force we are doing at 300 KM/hour! And yes,,, at the time of this picture I had currently been up for 15:34 hours in planes and airport transfers. I can not wait to get back to Torino so I can retire the brown sweater for awhile,,,,I was limited on clothes choices as my bags were needed to be kept light by my wife's orders to bring back stuff....lots of stuff.



Picture of Spain here from inside the train, it looked like this the whole way from Madrid to Saragoza. Pretty interesting place, will be fun to see the tractor show tommorrow.
