Today is the day we pay the reservation fees for the trains that will take the five of us from Madrid to Hendaye (France), to Paris, to Bruges, to the Hague, to Amsterdam, to Trier (Germany), to Berlin, to Rome, to Turin, to Barcelona, to Malaga, and back to Madrid. The red trains on the gameboard show our itinerary.
To honor this momentous occasion, Nina played a game of Ticket to Ride: Europe with Mari and me while Emilio watched the Rangers and Pablo listened to an audio version of The Lord of the Rings.
This is what Nina looks like after she has beaten her mother and me in a game of Ticket to Ride Europe, with a little help from Emilio.
