We rode in a taxi from the airport to our new home. A taxi is a yellow car. The man driving the car looks mad, yells a lot and drives the car so fast you can hardly hold on to your seat! We sped up to a tall, tall building that is our new home. We live on the 11th floor, and you take a teeny, tiny elevator to get there. I was glad someone could hold me; with the suitcases, John and Barb there was no room for me to stand on the floor!
Our new home is a big apartment. When you look out the windows all along the living room you see the Rhine River. The Rhine River is wider here than the Mississippi River is in Minneapolis. There are big boats called barges going up and down the river. The barges sometimes have 40 or more railroad cars on them, stacked up on top of each other! On the back end of the barge the captain has his car parked, waiting for him or her to tie up the barge so the captain can just drive off the boat.
I was so tired from the plane ride all I wanted to do was take a nap!
