On the way to Germany

The train I was on was headed to Barcelona where I would leave my suitcases with my prima Maria Elisa and then head to the airport to catch a flight to Frankfurt, Germany. First I had to survive the train ride. A 12 hour overnight train with no bed! After a long uncomfy night haha I made it to Barcelona. Before getting off the train I asked one of the workers if he could help take down my huge (probably 50lb) suitcases from the shelf. He said sorry I am only able to help children and the elderly and with a squeeze of my bicept he said you look strong, you can do it and started to walk away. I stopped him before he totally left and explained to him how much my suitcases weighed and that by myself I could not get them from the top shelf and asked him once again if he could help. He said sorry and walked away, I was shocked! So I asked a passenger to help me and he did an even helped me wheel it all the way onto the station where I was meeting Maria Elisa's husband. A wording advice: never have 3 suitcase, it is impossible to roll all 3 at once. If you have 3 get a suitcase where you can attach the smaller one too it. This is what I did t have and I had to find something to tie my smaller bag to the bigger bag so I could walk with all my stuff. It was extremely difficult but I finally made it with all three of my suit cases to meet my prima's husband and headed to the airport.
