Train Trip back to El Fuerte from Creel
Bowen dictated to Mom.
Today we took the train from Creel back to El Fuerte. The train trip was 7 hours long. I liked the first class train better because it had a carpet floor and a bar car. My favorite thing there were the chocolate bars but we didn't get any. The reason we didn't get any was because before we got on the train we asked somebody if the train took Visa. He said "yes" then we went to pay with Visa and another guy said we couldn't. So our parents ended up having to use mine and Hollis's money to pay for the tickets so we only had about 100 pesos ($10.00 ) for food.
We were so poor we couldn't even get a drink and we had to share the food.
On the way back we were prepared for the tickets but we took the second class train so they didn't have a bar car and the floors are not carpet!
We are sitting right behind the engine car so sometimes it is really loud and school is really boring but me and my brother have our Nintendo DS so we can do something.
Me and my Dad were standing in line to go to the bathroom and some guy came along and offered to sell us burritos and ummm pistachios and little packages of toffee. My Dad got a deal. He asked for 2 but the guy gave him three for 20 pesos ($2)
Weeeeeeeeeee get to stay in a hotel tonight!
