Europa Park is a giant amusment park here in Germany. Apparently- or rather obviously to a trained Disneyphile, several of their consultants are from our buddies over there in Burbank. It is split into different coutries - some represented- the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, England, Italy, Greece and a few others I canät recall. We entered first into Germany where there was a Christmas market going on complete with Glühwein- certainly not what you might find at Disneyland. We go on a train and went further into the park to get an overview of the whole place. I was not to be disappointed. There was so much to see- little lakes with mini boats that tour you through Africa, a Pirates of Batavia Ride that is reminiscent of our own Pirates of the Carribean ride, except that a monkey holds the key to the jail instead of a dog... We saw Shakespear's Globe Theatre, the Colliseum, rode on a Greek ship through a mythological story, shot our way through Atlantis... it was so much fun.
Well, the weather has gotten a bit colder. The gloves and long underwear are out. After my day of many smiles, I find myself quite tired, so I am going to get to bed. I am thinking of all of you. Sending lots of love,
Kathryn
