We were on time and I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I was pacing up and down the platform fidgeting with the little noise maker I brought. Thank God for DB Bahn, the train pulled up and opened it's doors at 12:46 - right on time. I don't know if I could have handled waiting a second longer.
Jon and I made our way down the platform, looking for them all the while, noise maker in hand. Then I saw them coming out of a car nearly at the end of the train. That's when I held Alessandra tight and began running down the platform shaking my noise maker like a giant idiot. People were staring and I didn't care - my friends were here. I finally reached them and started handing out hugs and kisses.
It wasn't until I settled down a little bit that it hit me and I had to really fight off the tears. Here were my best friends, greasy and exhausted - wrestling with even more exhausted, crying kids. They had just spent 1 full day traveling half way around the world, a week of their vacation time, and oodles of money to come here to see us.
