I’m on an express train from Gent to the East Sea — just across the
\nchannel from England. It’s a double-decker train. I bought a First Class
\nticket but haven’t found the First Class car on the train. Time to do some
\nmore looking. Hmmmm… It is at the end of the train and looks exactly like
\n2nd class.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve got a weekend fare. 1st class is 12.20 Euros (about $15). The 2nd
\nclass ticket was 8.80 Euros. Not very expensive at all. There is a bicycle
\ncar as well, with quite a few occupants. The fee to take a bicycle along
\nmust be also very inexpensive.<\/p>\n
\nThe train is moving right along and the next stop will be Oostende. I don’t
\nreally have a plan once I get there. We’ll see what is available. It looks
\nto be cool and I didn’t bring a jacket. If so, my stay there will be quite
\nshort.<\/p>\n
\nChurch today was interesting. The building is very close to the hotel.
\nMeetings started at 9:30 am with Priesthood \/ Relief Society first and
\nSacrament Meeting last. They had a combined RS – Psthd meeting with a
\ncounselor in the Branch Presidency teaching. Earphones with translation
\nwere provided during Sacrament Meeting. There were about 80 people in
\nattendance. About 10 of us were using headsets. It was a very friendly
\nbranch. According to the missionaries, they broke ground recently for a new
\nChapel. They are currently meeting on the second floor of an office
\nbuilding.<\/p>\n
\nTomorrow all of the hectic continues. I have put some new pictures on the
\nPictures! page. Click on the link at the right and select “GentAtNight”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
