Chicago to Seattle

On Monday I boarded a train in Chicago bound for Seattle.  We ended up leaving two hours late, and spent six hours stuck behind a immobile freight train in Minneapolis.  The 48 hour train ride turned into 56 hours, but was very good otherwise.  I made the decision to get a sleeper car, especially since all of my meals would be included.  This was my 10th overnight trip on the train.  Thankfully I made it through all of them in one piece.

So True.  I missed my bike while I was gone.


I took this picture for my sister, who is a safety major.  I just love the illustration near the top.

I got to do a wine and cheese tasting on the train (another sleeper car perk) and this is my new favorite wine. *Hint, hint to my secret santa.

Cheers,
Ali
