Beautiful Montana!!
Everyone sleeping on the train from Glacier to St Paul
Big time flooding during the night of the train ride 
Valou (Belgium), Flo (Belgium), and Chris (Switzerland) relaxing. It's LOONNNNNGGGGG and oh so BEAUTIFUL!!!! Actually, we wore the kids out so much the day before with rafting and hiking, and then they had to get up early to catch the train, so they all pretty much slept all day on the train. We were worried that by sleeping all day that they would be up all night talking and playing, but it didn't happen. We had a pretty strict train guy this time that kept walking up and down shushing them. They actually had a good nights sleep too; they were cramped, but slept. Every time I tried to read my book, I would nod off to sleep. I was wore out as well. We need these train rides for rest!
We arrived in St Paul, Minnesota this morning at about 9:00. The kids were farmed out again to Rotarian Host families for 24 hours. Seven of the boys went to a family with a swim pool and elevator in their house. I have already run into several of the kids at this huge mall, including Kayla! We had an apartment ready for us when we arrived. We did our laundry, showered, then headed to the Mall of America- the largest mall in America. It is large There is an actual amusement park with roller coasters in the middle of the mall! There is also a water park in here! Every store you can imagine is in here as well. You would need a week to see everything; a bit over whelming in fact! I looked at a few stores, got some lunch at Long John Silver's, and then settled down at a place where I could go online (Starbucks). Tonight we will catch back up on our sleep before we get back on the train in the morning for a few hours to Chicago, Illinois.
