Made the train with 1 minute to spare!

Ivy was invited for a long weekend to a friend's house up in the mountains. She and 2 other friends were going to catch a train together in the late afternoon. She already had another activity (hiking near Escarene) during the day but she was set to get back with time to pack and meet her friends.

Then mid-day, they changed the time to an hour earlier but I didn't see the messages. Plus Ivy was already gone. I only knew when one of the girl's moms called me at the tram station and said, "Where is Ivy? We are going to catch tram up to the train station!"

Uh oh. She was still in Escarene at that point, with Eric picked her and Inga up. They drove back home while I hurried to throw some things into a bag for her. I got everything except a toothbrush.

Then I had to get on the tram and pray that I'd make it to the train station on time! Eric and Ivy arrived 5 minutes previously and got Ivy a ticket. Eric met me at the platform and we ran together across the tram lines and down a staircase.

We arrived exactly when the train was supposed to leave. Fortunately it was 2 minutes late so we had just enough time to pass off the bags and snag a quick photo.

The four girls are having so much fun!
