Two years ago today we left the U.S. for Tokyo, Japan. One year ago today we were
driving and birding in Nepal with Audette Foyt. Today we drove from Grabovac,
Croatia –where yesterday we hiked over seven miles at Plitvice Lakes National Park
— to Zadar, Croatia.

We had been smart this morning and took a taxi to the museum saving our legs for
the museum and whatever came after. In our case we did some serious steps. First
we took a short walk through a very small part of the park surrounding the Villa,
next a longer walk through more of the park and on to the Modern Art Museum –
and no we hadn’t checked to see if it was open on a Monday and it wasn’t – so it was
on to food.
The Marshall Depot Board and the Union Pacific Foundation will be providing a peek into Marshall’s transportation history today as they unveil an interactive scale model of the Marshall Depot and the area beyond.
The model was prepared by Mike Martina, his wife Ellen and other hobbyists, recreating the depot, Ginocchio Hotel and most of the yards which once manufactured everything from railroad engines to car-wheels. His interactive display creates the effect of workers welding on train parts, of the sound of the trains as they run through the yards. The construction of the model was made possible with funds from Sallie Guillion, her family and the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
Take a look at the images.
