Trains, there everywhere!




In case you didn't know, Torben is a train fanatic. Luckily, there are oodles of train opportunities here in ABQ (that's short for, wait for it, Albuquerque). There is a zoo train, a train which takes you between the zoo and botanical garden and a garden in train in the garden, a real triple threat. A typical outing for us: Step 1 - walk to zoo at 9am see some animals and wait for first Rio Line train (train departs 10:15. Step 2 - Ride the Rio Line to the botanical garden (putting hands in the air to hold up the two tunnels on this route - and KEEP YOUR ARMS AND HEAD INSIDE THE TRAIN AT ALL TIMES TORBEN, how many times do I....). Step 3 - Run to garden train, talk about the worker guys who fix the trains and the little ladder leading up to the house for the Keebler elves). Step 4 - Press every button which operates the three trains on the three separate mini loops. Step 5 - Return to zoo on Rio Line while enjoying a nice tasty snack. Step 5 - Walk home, crash for four hour nap.
