Summer adventure, part 1

I mentioned two weeks ago that I was in the middle of a journey. My 15-year-old daughter and I took the train from Sacramento to Chicago, a distance of roughly 2000 miles. We spent a few days in Chicago before flying back. I thought I’d share some pics. Today, train photos!

We got a bedroom on the train; it comes with its own bathroom. Which consists of a tiny toilet/shower cubicle. Using it was a bit of an adventure.

 

The room itself was comfy and we slept really well.

And the scenery was gorgeous, especially along the Colorado River.

If you have the opportunity to take the California Zephyr, do it! Oh, and I finished a novella somewhere in the middle of Iowa.
