What is the real scoop on the bus? I worried about how the boys would tolerate the two longer bus days. We were reassured that the bus days are full of stops and diversions. If you haven't been on a Rick Steves tour you may be skeptical, just like I was. That's ok, experiencing is believing when outside the realms of philosophy and religion. I'm happy to report our bus experience was even better than promised, with no restless kids or restless legs. I used the extra time to catch up on my journal.
