We took a very short train ride - one stop- into the nearby city where they were having a Three Kings celebration. It was a good chance to get Rudy's first train ride in and experience our first Three Kings Day celebration (really the same as the Epiphany - when the 3 Kings came to see Jesus). The train ride was definitely the highlight for Rudy. The celebration was a little unorganized and we had to leave before Rudy got a present from the kings because we didn't want to miss our train (fortunately he didn't understand that he missed the presents - we'll have to plan our time better next year!).
So here are a few pictures from the train ride. Sitting on the train looking out the window.

Paul and I definitely need to brush up on (ie LEARN) our Spanish. Most of the commentating during the celebration was done in Spanish (although occasionally they would translate it). We were able to understand some of it (better than the native spanish speakers it seemed at times) but there were times we really had no idea what was being said.
