…ents. Meanwhile, Quarterback Tom Brady led the undefeated and unparalleled New England Patriots to a 10-0 record and to 56 points on 5 touchdown passes last night in their victory in American footballs NFL.

…e ever had in Europe and a pizza that could rival the best in my hometown, New York. I read about it in my Lets Go and they said it was worth the trouble of finding it. Usually, their food recommendations are not that good but I must say that they really nailed this on the head. The pizza was fabulous.

…w, pacing up and down the aisle as time passed, I was watching men putting new train rails on our train. This was very odd so I decided to check the book and see if it mentioned anything about this. It said that the train tracks in the old Soviet Union are a different size than the rest of Europe and that it can take up to 3 hours to change the width of the rails at border stops. To me this was a slight relief because at least I knew what was happ…

…Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City, and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by ”the Infected” victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and sending out radio messages to find any other survivors. All the…
